New viruses found in melting glaciers

This makes more sense where COVID 19 came from. China is a 3000+ year old civilization, if it was solely due to wet markets and bat poop it would of happened to them a while ago.

coli scientists back at it again
This isn't where Covid-19 came from

No the virus mutated that's how we got covid 19 it was just passed from animals to humans.

Where did I disagree with this?

But it did happen a while ago. This is SARS-2. The first SARS outbreak was in 2002-2003

SARS, swine flu happened I'll say it's similar, sanitation due to industrialization, overcrowding and lack of regulation, but these markets I'm sure have been going on for more then 20 years...what is NEW is the rate of Industrialization, lack of regulations and medications. Check out all the epidemics Cacs went through during theirs. When I say a while ago I mean on some bubonic plague sh!t. They didn't all of a sudden become the most populus country in the world.

Never heard or MERS, SARS, etc?

see above

Not neccearily. Many viruses spread to humans by pure coincidence. Everything has to align at the right time and place.

I never disagreed with this.

This is Mother Earths revenge against us.

And the fukked up thing is, it's extremely justified.

I mean this is better than what "mother Earth" has done before, I don't think you'd want to be on the planet with volcanos erupting everywhere causing acid rain globally as a result, if it isn't this it'll be something else, the earth gonna cleanse itself whenever the time comes, but you probably won't be alive for the next natural extinction event to happen.

common sense It can't just be bat poop and wet markets or it would of happened way before, obviously something else is occurring. Industrialization, possible population control that went out of control (my personal theory)

Humans collectively should be spending more money on technological and medical research instead of weapons for fighting each other. Space tech is the future, we need to be mining asteroids and getting more energy from the sun. Draining the planet of its resources while spreading pollution will lead to worse things than we are going through now.

i saw a few youtube and fb posts about this virus is nature resetting the earth like that m knight shamalamadong flick. We were looking at the skies for a meteor to wipe us out but it was here already waiting for us to mess up the environment.

mother earth got us in a real life saw sequel

We’ve cut down the tree’s, the air supply of the earth, now look at what COVID19 is doing to us?

Politicians dont take the threat seriously

Profit over everything. The pursuit of capital will lead to an easily avoidable demise of the species...

not with a bang but with a whimper.

 

[Vuvuzela]

A matter of time before the Broly of viruses does an Avatar Aang from the glacier and restores that Black Plague feeling

 

[Dorian Breh]

not with a bang but with a dry cough.

FTFY

New Viruses - Melting Glaciers - Permafrost

Along with melting permafrost the future looks scary


Researchers from China and the U.S. embarked on a field trip to Tibet in 2015, and discovered 28 previously undiscovered virus groups—in a melting glacier. They recently detailed their findings in a paper posted to the non-peer reviewed pre-print website bioRxiv.

The researchers drilled a 164-foot hole into the glacier, gathered two ice core samples from the 15,000-year-old glacier, and then later identified them in a lab. In total, they identified 33 virus groups—28 of which were completely new to science.

From Tibet to the Arctic to Antarctica, glaciers and ice caps around the world are melting at alarming rates. Scientists are racing the clock and climate change to collect, identify, and catalogue the microbes found in ancient ice. Having a record of these bacteria, viruses, and fungi paints a sharper picture of our prehistoric past and could be valuable for use in studying future pathogens.

Meltwater from glaciers and ice caps could ferry harmful pathogens along streams, rivers, and other important waterways, potentially exposing humans to new microbes, the researchers report. But ice isn't the only thing that's melting. Thawing permafrost, a frozen layer of earth found in high latitudes and at elevation, creates its own unique set of challenges.

Gases like methane and carbon dioxide, which have been trapped in the long-frozen earth, are being released into the atmosphere at alarming rates. Permafrost houses twice as much carbon than what's currently found in the atmosphere, climate change scientist Sue Natali of the Woods Hole Research Center told the BBC.
