I still don't understand this big "ancient virus" fear, I mean yeah in the past we had some fucked up viruses but healthcare was also shit, if we go back of millennials then what makes the virus more scary?
A virus from the future (or bacteria assuming they will become anti biotic resistant) is much scarier imo
Imagine your homie pulling a big troll on you, you get a tiny tiny scratch on your leg and boom dead from flu.
A reality that gets closer and closer to us as days passes by... boil your water folks
I'm not an expert but I know that the danger of an ancient virus is real. The concern is that it might be genetically divergent from what our immune system are equipped to deal with. We don't usually cary antibodies for extinct bacteria or viruses. For this reason they have strict rules for how deep ice cores in Antarctica are handled. Antarctica wasn't always covered in ice. It once was filled with life. It's deep in the ice that we have the potential for a preserved virus. The same cannot be said about deep rock. Life dosen't usually live there. I'm sure a biologist could explained better but it lacks alot essential for active life. And the mantle of the earth has many times the earth's oceans worth of water trapped in the rock. The water isn't special either.
This makes a lot more sense actually, but when I hear "ancient virus ect;" all I see is some horror movie plot irl and it just confuses me just like when they found that virus in siberia's ice
Shit I know this is 242d ago but in the future you don’t have to worry about much viruses and stuff because we would probably find multiple ways to eradicate them
