Viruses everywhere, far and wide.

Whhaaaaat??  We DON'T catch a lot of viruses already, and the 
population hasn't gone bust - I think you misunderstand the dynamics 
of infection / disease; even given DELIBERATE introductions of 
highly virulent viruses into susceptible populations (eg: 
myxomatosis in rabbits in the 50's), populations crashed, but soon 
recovered.  Less of the doom and gloom!~!
