a vast store of ancient viruses, according to a team of European researchers, who say they have found 13 previously unknown pathogens that had been trapped in the previously frozen ground of Russia’s vast Siberian region.found one virus that they estimated had been stranded under a lake more than 48,500 years ago, they said, highlightingThe same team of French, Russian and German researchers previously isolated ancient viruses from the permafrost and published their findings in 2015.
they published last month on the BioRxiv website, a portal where many scientists circulate their research before it is accepted in a scientific journal.“Every time we look, we will find a virus,” said Jean-Michel Claverie, a co-author of the study and an emeritus professor of virology at Aix-Marseille Université in France, in a phone interview. “It’s a done deal. We know that every time we’re going to look for viruses, infectious viruses in permafrost, we are going to find some.
The risks from viruses pent up in the Arctic are worth monitoring, several scientists said. Smallpox, for example, has a genetic structure that can hold up under long-term freezing, and if people stumble upon the defrosted corpses of smallpox victims, there is a chance they could be infected anew. Other categories of virus — such as the coronaviruses that cause covid-19 — are more fragile and less likely to survive the deep freeze.
Has Daszak got them ready with his friend Shi?
“Although the ones they studied were infectious only to amoebas” And that can be a little bit concerning,” especially if pathogens are frozen inside animals or people, he said. As long as you’re not an amoeba or we don’t thaw out frozen cavemen I think we’re safe for now
The post is getting to be funnier than the Bee
This is going to hit those people that chose “mask” over “health” in this last “pandemic”
F u
I'm sure Pfizer will have a vaccine and boosters ready for the taking.
I’m ready been watching Walking dead for 12 seasons very Prepared
Those quotes around 'zombie' are some of the biggest click bait bullshit you guys have ever put on a headline, and that's saying a lot.
Shameless click bait
capitalweather I’ve heard it all now
White Walkers?
capitalweather Great, just great, this and cocainebear
capitalweather Cool cool
Where did covid come from?
What’s global warming?
Super.
but penguins would have immunity to those viruses .. we need to vaccinate the entire population with antibodies from penguin blood - and we must do it NOW!
we r doomed because scientists and researchers won't stop digging and looking for ways to kill civilization and BIG media and BIG Pharma$$$$ are working hand in hand with lightning speed to scare the hell out of the public ,so we will be brainwashed to take some new vaccine
Why the need to scare people ? The ice has grown back faster than expected and they don’t know why was the latest news just a couple a days ago . The earth will probably be getting colder rather than warmer . Hence the name change from “global warming” to “climate change”.
You guys should send a reporter up there and catch it.
Or someone cleverly develops it...
