We hear about the danger Covid19 but tend to forget there is a dangerous plague that will affect the very existence of this planet, ignored by all thinking it will be no threat to us. How wrong can we be, time will tell. Break the food chain, our existence is doomed.

Is this the worst plague to hit planet Earth?

This plague is killing everything, wiping out whole species within months wherever it appears, nothing can stop its deadly tentacles from reaching every corner of the world. So far attempts have been made to curtail its spread but it has proved an impossibility, and leaves one wondering why people haven’t read or heard anything about it until now.

Well it is a closely guarded secret of which only governments are aware. Only one government in the whole world has tried to curb and control it without much success. So how did this plague start, and when? Well it started about one million years ago to scientists’ knowledge, but then it was relatively harmless only attacking itself, occasionally affecting other creatures without serious harm, then about 6,000 years ago it broke out of its restraints for an unknown reason, literally attacking all and every mammal it came across.

Later it jumped to plants, wiping them out in the thousands, even - today whole areas are being decimated to the point of extinction. In the last 200 years the strain moved to marine life, now whole seas are being left empty and lifeless. And to make things even worse this plague reached a foul smell and scum is left mammals, birds, plants and marine life but now the last life form left is under threat, insects, if they go the world will literally end into a vast nothingness.

How deadly is this plague, when it arrives in a virgin unspoilt island thick in forests, rich in birds, animals, clean rivers and lakes abundant with fish plus well stocked seas, within one year of this plague arriving the forest decimated and all other life on the verge of extinction a smell of pollution and scum will evade the place. The worst thing about this plague is if it is attacked or threatened by another organism it has the ability to organise into groups and eliminate the threat, this makes it extremely dangerous.

How come we have never heard of this plague? If it is so dangerous, why haven’t scientists done something or at least alerted us? Surely if they are aware of it steps should be taken. Well some scientists are very aware and have alerted countries.

The special name of this plague is Homo sapiens, commonly known as the human race. Just because it is you and me doesn’t mean it is not a plague we are the deadliest and most destructive thing to live on this planet Earth and eventually like a cancer will kill the very body we live on, frightening to think we are nothing more than a virus, unlike other mammals on this planet who instinctively develop a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, we do not, we move to an area and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and if we are to survive is to spreads to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern “virus” which we humans struggle with desperately try to eradicate to no avail. We have no natural predator to thin us down like every other creature on this planet, disease is the only thing that can keep our population down. Soon we will have to face the fact our population cannot keep growing and destroying habitat.
