In foreign "science fiction" movies, we see that humans can live for hundreds of years if their bodies are preserved in a freezer below -100 degrees Celsius. While this may one day be reality for humans, it is already a reality for viruses.
Scientists today are warning about the possibility of viruses that were frozen in the Arctic's permafrost being released, posing a pandemic threat, due to the phenomenon of global warming.
The Middle East newspaper reported that humanity will face a new and strange pandemic threat, as those ancient frozen viruses are released, spreading serious illness.
Researchers explained that strains of mycoplasma bacteria, also known as zombie viruses, have already been isolated by researchers who raised fears of the possibility of a new global medical emergency, not because of a new disease, but because of a very old one from the distant past.
These threats have prompted scientists to plan the creation of a monitoring network in the Arctic to identify early cases of illness caused by ancient microorganisms. It will also provide quarantines and specialized medical treatment for infected people to contain the spread of the disease.
