WION Climate Tracker: Scientists revive 48,500-year-old ‘zombie virus’ buried in ice | English News

French scientists have revived a 48,500-year-old "zombie virus" buried under a frozen lake in Russia. Scientists have long warned that the thawing of permafrost due to atmospheric warming will worsen climate change by freeing previously trapped greenhouse gases like methane.

I feel justifiable to tell my grandchildren I once survived pandemic, war, and zombie apocalypse within the decades.

[bamperry]

This is literally the opening credits to a zombie apocalypse movie...

[lobsterking]

Like this decade can’t get any more worse :(

Zombie virus is the term given to a virus that is frozen in ice and therefore dormant. It does not mean that it is a virus that will turn you into a zombie, like those in horror movies and shows. However, in sync with the analogy, these viruses are ‘undead’ like the fictional zombie, and can come back alive and active under certain circumstances.
but if it is a real zombie virus i can't wait for the ultimate zombie survival experience!

I feel like we're in a series and this is the first episode now

[trevorjoseph]

Us humans can never just leave well enough alone...

[ethanhunt]

Idk what imma do with my life but i do know what imma do in a zombie apocalypse

It is actually smart to purposefully recover these frozen viruses. With climate change, these frozen viruses will potentially revive on their own just as a result of melting ice. Knowing the potential danger of these viruses ahead of time could save humanity from an otherwise unknown pandemic.

[terryhanson]

Thank you for reviving these old viruses what would we do without you guys making the world worse

[cosmicrealm]

If anything happens, the scientists who revived the virus are fully responsible

[operatorgriz]

Those scientists have never heard the term, “accidentally letting something already dangerous get weaponized because that’s what will happen if you mess with dangerous stuff”

[Caramelzed]

I'm genuinely scared for our future

[crose]

Man I'm genuinely worried for what the future holds for us all. I just wish we could all live peacefully.

[sonoftexasOO]

This reminds me of when I was young and my dad taught me that curiosity can kill the cat.

[nathan]

Bro all of us are going to live in walking dead and Ohio lol

Researcher 1: "Hey, I found a deadly frozen zombie virus buried for thousands of years." Researcher 2: "Hey, let's revive it!"

[farhanaditya]

Y'all need to watch the video. It's called "zombie virus" not because it can turn people into zombies, but because it has the characteristic of a zombie: able to be revived.

[thdoggo]

Scientists: STAY IN YOUR HOUSE EVERYONE THIS LUNG DISEASE IS TERRIBLE
Those same Scientists: Eh. What’s one more?

[FdxTdx]

When first zombie appears:* COD ZOMBIES ROUND 1 SOUND EFFECT STARTS*
After 5 minutes of the infection started:FETCH ME THEIR SOULS!*

[animatornic]

If an apocalypse film started with and intro this long like this, it would probably lead it's way to an oscar
