It's certainly possible. What's difficult is imagining what the world looks like if that happens.

I live on a major road and have seen the number of ambulances shift from once or twice a week to almost one an hour. This is a major change, and deeply troubling to me as well.

The thing which really bothers me is that if there's that many deaths, it's not just the material world affected: what happens to the inner planes? Does anyone know what having that many people going through into the afterlife will look like?

I suspect that the ones who are able to transition more or less peacefully because they have some spiritual grounding won't be a problem. However, I can imagine the Middle Astral Plane experiencing a surfeit of very cognitively and emotionally dissonant spirits for those who are not able to transition as peacefully.

My sister was like that. She died suddenly at 37. For a few years after, I'd meet her sometimes in dreams, and it'd be like... usually some random, passing-through kind of place. A yard sale. A roadside diner. She had reverted to her early-20s self, before marriage and kids. She didn't seem to know who she was or what had happened to her, like an amnesiac. I always woke up trying desperately to explain it to her. We did a memorial service at the 7-year mark, and I think she's moved on now. I don't have those dreams anymore.

I wouldn't want to see hordes of people stuck that way.

I could see an uptick in ghosts being yet another mark against Progress and materialism. If the fox situation breaks down in a more widely accepted way, a lot of people will stop believing. Then an increase in "unexplained" occurrences might pull more people away. Perhaps it would add fuel to the Second Religiosity as well.
