Scientists have unearthed the remnants of more than 1,700 viruses from deep inside a glacier in western China. Most of these viruses are new to science.
With this discovery, the number of ancient viruses recovered from glaciers has grown fiftyfold.The viruses, gathered from a 1,000-foot ice core taken from the sprawling Guliya Glacier on the Tibetan Plateau, date back 41,000 years and span three major shifts from cold to warm.
Hey how about we put those the fuck back where they were and just make pretend viruses in Plague Inc. We don’t need to unleash the ancient virus that’ll make us shit our own brains out
Put them back? Have you seen glaciers recently? They somehow don’t like to stay frozen
Good point, launch the frozen demon core into the sun
Its just, that it would melt before going into outer space …
Can’t wait for us to figure out one of them is still virulent, and it’s out in the world now being passed around.
Well, they were discovered in China, so it won’t take long, but they won’t tell anyone until it’s been spread to other countries.

Great episode. Also, the movie The Thaw.
