This will end well

Scientists have brought back to life a virus that was buried in ice for 30,000 years and is still infectious, a prominent scientific journal reports.
If the Earth's ice melts sufficiently, Nature warns, it could "trigger the return of other ancient viruses."
A French husband and wife team who discovered the large organism in Siberia have named it Pithovirus sibericum.
It was able to infect amoebae despite having been frozen for 30 millennia.

Well, hopefully we can learn something from it and keep it contained.

I've seen this movie. I just hope Kurt Russel can stop it in time.

Seriously this is how every plague, virus, disease takes over the world and kills us all. Next they will say that they have cured something from this virus, then it backfires and we all die. Better start stocking up the bomb shelter now...
