Population and Disease

It is a fact that the physically closer we are to one another the greater the chances of communicating diseases through everyday activities. There are currently 82 such diseases floating around from our breaths and touches.

It is also a fact that the more of us there are the closer we become to one another. In addition, we also become closer to other species allowing the cross-species transfer of more diseases such as Covid 19 in recent years.

Logically, it makes sense that the smaller the size of the human population the better off we are from these diseases and if the human population continues to grow the worse off, we become.
