Scylla Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 This was posted awhile back, so don't worry too much. I think the record is the 30,000 year old giant virus thawed out of the Russian permafrost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the record is the 30,000 year old giant virus thawed out of the Russian permafrost China (and the US) were the first to extract viruses from the glacier in 2014. Who knows, we do get bombarded with objects from space on a regular basis, I believe it's called panspermia? Would be nice to get "panned" with an organism that kills all bad viruses and makes us all rich, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
