COVID 19:A Warning Against Population Growth



World is witnessing phenomenal population growth,,,All ethnic groups are contributing according to their might,,, While studying Parish registers of Church in England,,, Malthus,an enquisitive pontif, came to conclusion very wide,,, Population grows as per Geometric Progression (e.g.,1,2,4,16,256),,, While supporting resources grow as per Arithmetic Progression (e.g.,1,2,3,4,5)
Obviously there is no match between population increase and resource progression,,,He asked people across the world to control the growth of population,,,If not controlled,nature may come into play to control population using various means using fury laced poison,,,Economists and scientists ridiculed  hypothesis propounded by him,,,To world order no danger was seen by them,,,They couldn't remember the fact,,,By elapse of each 100 years nature sends controlling might,,,In that series of pandemic COVID 19 visited our dear earth,,,A very very tiny virus multiplying on contacted host body(say man and animal) played havoc by mass death and destruction fast,,, From lab of Wuhan in China it spread,,,By now globally killed around three lakh people and thirty-five lakhs plus were infected,,,It grows by contact to lay killing hands,,, For it humans are humañs,,,It doesn't discriminate anyone as per colour,caste , creed, community and country,,,,Can we control our population's rise or fall as per need or remain ready to face wrath of nature so hard?
