It's too late Livia! It's been over since the early 1800's (1 billion humans, about what the planet can realistically handle indefinitely). Damn you, industrial revolution .

We need a good plague

I remember watching "Rec 2" (which was pretty rubbish, tbf) and at some point it transpires that the virus has been deliberately manufactured and released by a group who want to cull the human population right down to the millions...

... which is supposed to be all nefarious and stuff, but I was watching it like " Is it bad that I sort of think they're not wrong?"

Then again, I sympathise with the philosophical standpoint of the villians in an alarming number of movies and TV shows .
