April 22 (W), 2020 Something about The Earth and the novel virus

Some of my previous posters designed for my sociology class in the unit learning of Population, Urbanization, and Environment:

The novel coronavirus pandemics might change the contents of the above poster (and the following two posters as well) designed on July 31 (F), 2015 for my sociology classes. Aa a strand of research predicts (on Feb. 13) that 2/3 of the world population would be infected, and 1/3 of them might die. Refer to https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-13/coronavirus-could-infect-two-thirds-of-globe-researcher-says 
If it turned out to be true, then will the pro-life advocacy keep the Earth very busy again? Then, I might need to redesign the poster?

This study, a more conservative one, predicts 1/2 of the population would be infected.“We assume that the virus will infect around 50% of the world population; 20% of the cases will be severe, and 1-3% (of 7.4 billion population x 50% x 20% x 1-3% => approximately from 7 to 22 million population )  will result in deaths,” analysts from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) said in a note. Refer to https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/18/coronavirus-will-infect-half-the-global-population-eiu-predicts.html

As yesterday, India revealed a potentially catastrophic spreading of the viruses under the extreme lack of the anti-viral types of equipment and other relevant medical resources. Africa and the rest of the 4th wave regions are still very slowly discovering the virus contagions. The unavailable or short of the testing kits and anti-viral information, materials, and other important resources may prolong the pandemics.

The pivotal point of the viral crisis: April 6 ( Refer to https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-52159986): The news reported that the race to stop of the virus spreading may come from Asia's 'biggest slum': Dharavi, India, which was the inspiration for the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire film and city planners from all over the world studying its throbbing-hard economy and society.

Half of a million of the disadvantaged people live in 2.5 square kilometers of the devastating area with a high speed of spreading within the slum.

When does the viral spreading reach its plateau in India (with 1.3 billion population), may determine how long the battle against the virus in the world will last...

A sidebar note, during a crisis, it never lacks the conspiratory theories.

Two of the most popular speculations, particularly related to this viral crisis are the De-Population Conspiracy and the New World Order.

Here is a brief regarding  "Anonymous and the Depopulation Agenda", authored by Vita Peacock

"This paper explores the theory of intentional depopulation shared by supporters of the 'Anonymous' movement in Britain. It argues that the theory is an analogical response to real crises of social and biological reproduction that have deepened in Britain since 2010."

A longer abstract was attached as follows:

"As a loose assembly of hackers, activists, and marginalized persons, Anonymous proclaims a populist message. Adherents maintain that 'anyone can be Anonymous', that it has no limiting ideology nor doctrine. In practice, those most committed to the movement in Britain share a theory of the world known as the 'Depopulation Agenda' or 'Agenda 21'. Drawing on a UN resolution passed in 1992 to address the threat of climate change, Agenda 21 in their conceptualization is a project by the world's rich and powerful to depopulate the world by around six and a half billion people. The internet provides an important resource for this theory, as it enables the marshaling of various forms of documentary, visual, and audio-visual 'evidence' for the existence of a mass existential threat. Rather than deconstructing the flawed epistemological bases on which the theory rests, I offer that the fear of organized depopulation is an analogical response to real crises of social and biological reproduction that have deepened in Britain since 2010. Drawing on Orlando Patterson's concept of 'social death', the paper argues that Anonymous in Britain arises from experiences of invisibility that have been aggravated by prioritization and austerity policies. Social death is fundamentally a symbolic state, a position outside a hierarchy of value; yet it is also tacitly connected to biological death, as those outside a sphere of recognition might not benefit from life-giving institutional protections. Agenda 21 thus becomes a way for Anons to rationalize the social and biological risks that invisibility can produce."

The New World Order or NWO is much well-known to many curious people. It claimed to be an emerging clandestine totalitarian world government by various conspiracy theories. Again, for the following information, readers' decretion is advised.
"The common theme in conspiracy theories about a New World Order is that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government—which will replace sovereign nation-states—and all-encompassing propaganda whose ideology hails the establishment of the New World Order as the culmination of history's progress. Many influential historical and contemporary figures have therefore been alleged to be part of a cabal that operates through many front organizations to orchestrate significant political and financial events, ranging from causing systemic crises to pushing through controversial policies, at both national and international levels, as steps in an ongoing plot to achieve world domination.

Before the early 1990s, New World Order conspiracism was limited to two American countercultures, primarily the militantly anti-government right and secondarily that part of a fundamentalist Christianity concerned with the end-time emergence of the Antichrist. Skeptics, such as Michael Barkun and Chip Berlet, observed that right-wing populist conspiracy theories about a New World Order had not only been embraced by many seekers of stigmatized knowledge but had seeped into popular culture, thereby inaugurating a period during the late 20th and early 21st centuries in the United States where people are actively preparing for apocalyptic millenarian scenarios. Those political scientists are concerned that mass hysteria over New World Order conspiracy theories could eventually have devastating effects on American political life, ranging from escalating lone-wolf terrorism to the rise to power of authoritarian ultranationalist demagogues."

As the complex ideologies are unfolding and evolving, some extremists engaging in the Culture War or ideologues may label the conventional environmental agencies, environmentalists, the animal protection agencies, climate change advocates/activists, and the rest of pro-Earth-Justice groups with political tags...  Being a social science educator, I was aware of the necessary precautions in the classrooms and in the online learning environment.
