Ideally things like these are how nature maintains balance in various populations. When a population grows too big, new countermeasures evolve to feed off the population and eventually bring it down. Since humans have medical technology outpacing the nature, the effect of such things is negligible, even for something devastating like COVID. Funnily enough, human population seems to be self regulating, because the birth rate seems to be dropping all over the world.
