European scientists have revived a 48,500-year-old ‘Zombie Virus’ buried under a frozen lake in Russia’s Siberian permafrost. One of these viruses, Pandoravirus yedoma, found frozen under a lake, is more than 48,500 years old. All these viruses are capable of infecting single-cell organisms such as amoebas — but not plants or animals. However, other frozen viruses could be very dangerous to plant and animal life, including humans. Climate Change and Global warming is irrevocably thawing enormous swathes of permafrost. Scientists have long warned that this could potentially revive deadly dormant pathogens, especially because of increased human activities in the region. So, watch the full video to understand the significance of this development.

  22. Well into the future it's allways a threat. And human interference is also a risk..

    The black plague killed 75,000,000–200,000,000 humans, in the year 1346 to 1353. Al do humans of that day and medical or hospital can't be compared to this day ofcourse.

    But another outbreak like that can't be excluded in future.

    And what's even wurse. Humans can be the cause of mankind extinction as well. To play arround with viruses. Or purposely create a virus.

    Those zombie movies, outbreak virus that turn humans in zombies is fiction. But in other way ca become reality. Instead of the dead walking. Total extinction.

    Now do to climate change these ice caps melting. And the recently find zombie virus. People start talking about. U see on YouTube and so on. It's a virus that's only dangerous to single cel life forms.

    Al though I'm no expert. It worried me that things evolve into the next stage.

    Like the bird flu. What If it jumps on humans because it might adapted to do so.

    It's creepy that not aliens or even our self are reason for extinction. Bot those little basterd are.

    So yeah it's good that scientist are on to it. And technology like nanobites can be used. Or pharmaceutical industry.

    Antibiotics has also less value these days. Becouse of resistance to Antibiotics. This why it's not getting subscribed that easy

    So yeah it will be mankind struggle to beat it every time.
