DEADLY viruses capable of wiping out humanity could land on Earth from space at any moment, scientists have sensationally claimed.
The killer germs like the AIDS-causing HIV, the lethal Ebola and small pox either came from or were supercharged by particles brought to Earth on comets, they said.
They warned the human race faces a catastrophic disease pandemic and even extinction unless organisms constantly raining down onto this planet are closely monitored.
Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, of the Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology, United Kingdom, said a super-virulent virus was most likely responsible for killing the dinosaurs.
He said: “Over history and evolution, lethal viruses have suddenly appeared and disappeared, there is no way they could have originated from Earth.
“What is more plausible is they have entered the atmosphere having been carried by comets before having devastating impacts.
“It is possible that a virus could arrive on Earth and trigger a devastating pandemic or even wipe out humanity, this is the scale of what we think we are dealing with.

Take this news like a pinch of salt

4 wetin now,the entire human race take this news back!

Lols. The astrobiologist did not say a virus will soon hit earth and wipe us all out, he only spoke on the posibility of such happening!

The OP is just raising a false alarm

Op which one b dis again. Y do we like scaring ourselves. Religion don dy tell us for years say dis world go end soon n soon don turn to years over years n now science don join, now dem go dey predict say wetin do dem dinosaur go happen soon. Fingers crossed.

Wiped out kwa?
So even all the fire wey dry burn all those comets wen them enter our atmosphere nko?
The virus dey still survive?

Lots of nut jobs everywhere I tell 'ya!

Take it back *in 2face's voice*
