A mysterious virus hiding in the permafrost in remote Siberia has attracted the attention ofscientists, who are hoping to resurrect it.The virus, called Mollivirus sibericum, or soft virus from Siberia, isa newly discovered virus that was discovered in permafrost dating back 30,000 years, according to the Arctic Newswire.The virus was found in Russia’s Chukotka region,and was detailed in a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.It’s the 4th time since 2003 that researchers have found a giant virus from ancient times, and these same researchers found one of the previous viruses in this same permafrost.As global warming intensifies, prehistoric permafrost will begin to melt, and unleash this virus onto the world.Mollivirus sibericum is a spherical organism that is huge compared to other viruses, but is still just 0.6 microns in diameters — giant viruses are viruses that are over 0.5 microns. A micron is just a thousandth of a millimeter, for perspective. These giant viruses can be seen with normal microscopes.French and Russian scientists were behind the discovery.And that giant virus doesn’t compare to an even bigger virus, measured at a whopping1.5 micron: the Pithovirus sibericum. The research team that found it was able to activate it, and detailed their findings in a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It’s the largest virus scientists have everfound, and it can even infect amoebas. Humanshave nothing to worry from it, however, scientists say.This new species of virusthat was recently discovered is pretty diverse when it comes togenetics, having more than 500 genes compared to eight genesin the Influence A virus.

Ok. They should just contain it in their labs

Why would they want to "resurrect" it? What if it turns out to be even deadlier than the AIDS virus? This white people sef...
