To take this analogy up another level.....
Humans were still in equilibrium with the resources of this planet until we punctured the surface and started using fossil fuels.
Petroleum based fertilizers enabled us to grow more food so that the population could continue to grow.
Petroleum and coal powered industry propelled human growth and resource consumption in an exponential curve.
So things didn't get bad until the virus broke through the surface and got "into" the planet.
