I used to think that all the pestilences or plagues would have a natural or supernatural source. The Bubonic plague, MERS, or E-boli being naturally occurring, and the Egyptian plagues or the 7 Trumpets being supernatural plagues. But after this recent pandemic, I'm thinking that some of these plagues might be self-induced or some combination of human/divine.
The First Bowl is a sore upon those who have the "mark of the beast." Yes, it is a "bowl" poured out on the earth, but it could also be some infection resulting from the mark. Kind of like "you reap what you sow," describing what is usually short term gain but long-term loss.
