Sometimes you read about natural systems, like fungi, or whatever, ... feedback loops, ... nature keeping things balanced. Too many herbivores leads to starvation, so predators keep their numbers low. A delicate balance that has been thrown-off by humans. Maybe the virus is stage-1 of the Earth trying to get rid of us. It's not a conscious thing. But it's genius nonetheless.
One the one hand, we are the most "intelligent" lifeform that we know of in the entire universe. I don't think dolphins are aware of the vastness that is the universe. And if we get snuffed, ... well the universe will continue to wind its meaningless way without us. And animal consciousness will thereafter be limited to seeking food on limited grazing/hunting ranges on this planet. And it won't matter because we're a stinking, ugly, stupid, boorish, arrogant, moronic species.
