Thank you gammastern. Your insightful-comments have started all kind of thoughts running through my head.
 Nature is wonderful, but can be cruel as evidenced by dealing this deadly card to the world from its arsenal.
 Is it a powerful warning shot across the bows, that advanced societies have become too selfish & indulgent, by obsession with play,pleasure & extravagant, thoughtless, wasteful user of precious non-renewable resources?
Just look at the leisure sectors that have been hit first!
Play & pleasure are an essential part of good health.But have things got out of balance?
