WTF?
It's only teenage wasteland.
Well your “betters” Soros, Oprah, Bill Gates, and a bunch more of the “elites” met in Darvos a few years ago, and decided that overpopulation was the biggest problem on Earth.
They didn’t say what they were going to do about it. Maybe this is what they decided, just don’t quarantine existing high mortality diseases for which there is no vaccine or cure.
In today’s world, spread could be pretty rapid, if no precautions are taken.
Keep in mind that the UN believes overpopulation is the greatest problem facing the earth. They’ve proposed reducing the population by 75%.
