What is the role of viruses on planet Earth?

The role of viruses on top of meteors, comets, and asteroids makes the earth's ecosystem a ticking time bomb. Whether they are communicable or non-communicable, viruses are spread easily and can be very potent if contracted. Our society needs to take charge and do everything possible in order to prevent the spread of these deadly viruses. Granted, some cannot be spread and there is not much that we can do about certain ones, but we must always be on the lookout for potentially dangerous viruses and there devastating effects. Effects that could crush someone's hopes, dreams, lives, and quite possibly families. If one of us contracts a virus, it does not only affect one person, but many people. If many people are affected, it starts to become a domino effect. It is a lot like quick sand, if you go and try to save someone who is sinking, you will also sink! Before you know it, we all begin to sink, and where do we go from there? We try so hard to preserve and save our earth, well who or what is going to save us during our impossible missions? If viruses are meant to take over the earth and mankind, then they are going to, no matter how hard we try to fight it. Everything that happens is ultimately up to our lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The rest is history, you just have to roll with the punches!
