Letters: Maybe we're the real virus?

Dear Editor,

Is this the Earth hitting the big reset button upon us? We’ve become a bloated species: over-populated, over-indulged, over-scheduled and over-travelled.

We’re spreading quickly and we impose ourselves on the environment and all its other species. But, if you look at our history, we are a mere blip of two million (or so) years in the bigger picture of the planet’s 4.5 billion years.

Are we a virus? Perhaps the Earth is sending a warning, otherwise she’ll find a vaccine for humanity.
