Old germ, meet the old germ
A ‘giant’ virus has been unearthed in the frozen wastelands of Siberia and reports are that researchers will reanimate it. It is reportedly a 30,000-year-old giant virus and might receive a wake up call provided it poses no threat to living forms. It’s hoped the study could shed insight into ancient dormant viruses that could get another chance at spreading as permafrost retreats due to climate change. Mark my words, polluters: if you don't stop it, we could be done for if a virus from pre-history were to make a comeback.
