It’s been four years since a tiny virus upended the entire world. Remember COVID? How it ruthlessly took lives and shut down the planet? The whole world scrambled to stop it. Vaccines were whipped up, but even now, we’re still grappling with the aftermath.
That was a time we’ll never forget. We saw how one microscopic critter could turn everything upside down. Family and friends separated, jobs and schools abandoned. People fought the sickness, some sadly losing the battle.
But we also saw humanity rise. Doctors and scientists toiling day and night to understand this new enemy and find a cure. Governments and businesses stepping up to help each other. Ordinary folks offering unwavering support and compassion.
Frozen bomb: Ancient viruses rise as permafrost melts
remember what we went through with that one virus? Scary stuff, but its death rate wasn’t even above 4%. Now imagine if the world faced another invisible virus, an even deadlier strain? Or worse, imagine a whole bunch of them, lurking within the deepest frozen earth.
That permafrost you know, the permanently frozen ground under our feet? Climate change is melting it, bringing ancient viruses and bacteria back to the surface. Some of these critters could be seriously nasty, with the potential to resist any vaccines or treatments we have.
Permafrost Melting Risks Ancient Viruses Resurfacing
The ground beneath the Earth has been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years below zero temperatures. However, due to climate change, permafrost is melting in Canada, Siberia, and Alaska.
This is quite dangerous. If permafrost completely melts, it will bring many ancient microorganisms to the surface. Some of these microorganisms can be highly harmful, and we have no vaccines or treatments against them.
Scientists have initiated a plan for an Arctic monitoring network to identify early cases of diseases caused by ancient microorganisms. But I don’t know if this network will work.
