Declining birth rate in Developed Countries: A radical policy re-think is required
But, after 1962 the global population growth rate started a long decline and today (the period 2015-2020) is estimated to be about 1.1%,[10] half of its peak in 1962. Although still growing, global population is predicted to level out around the end of the 21st century,[11] and some sources predict the start of a decline before then.[8] The principle cause of this phenomenon is the abrupt decline in the global total fertility rate, from 5.0 in 1960 to 2.5 in 2016. The decline in the total fertility rate has occurred in every region of the world and has brought renewed concern for population decline.
Increasing deaths and the slowdown of migration also contributed to slowest growth rate since first world war
Scientists believe these cytokines are evidence of an immune response called a cytokine storm
Population in the world is currently (2020) growing at a rate of around 1.05% per year (down from 1.08% in 2019, 1.10% in 2018, and 1.12% in 2017). The current average population increase is estimated at 81 million people per year. Annual growth rate reached its peak in the late 1960s, when it was at around 2%. The rate of increase has nearly halved since then, and will continue to decline in the coming years. World population will therefore continue to grow in the 21st century, but at a much slower rate compared to the recent past. World population has doubled (100% increase) in 40 years from 1959 (3 billion) to 1999 (6 billion). It is now estimated that it will take another nearly 40 years to increase by another 50% to become 9 billion by 2037. The latest world population projections indicate that world population will reach 10 billion persons in the year 2057.

Wow, it's amazing to me how all this has been happening right under our noses.
We have been conditioned to see Bill Gates as a good guy, and reality shows him to be a bad guy. Is this a time of universal deception?

If you're going to release a virus that depopulates the planet maybe they should release one that does what you're claiming since this one isn't.
I think you're right. In my part of the world, traffic deaths are way down and in about 9 months the boom in newborn kids will insure a net gain in population!
