1. Given the nonsensical palaver about the federal government’s “war on science” or “war on scientists”, this story suggests that we need to get serious about this war.

2. This may be just the answer the progressives have been looking for to reduce the world population down to say …. a few thousand elites and a few million servants. Science Fiction R us now.

3. Let’s hope the virus is indemic to the Mammoth species and when released will keep the new cloned mammoth population in trim so they don’t eat all the orange groves in Siberia caused by NYC yuppies driving SUVs.
   Science – gotta luv it.

4. They made a show about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortitude_%28TV_series%29

5. How about brining back those Terror Birds while their at it a few thousand terror birds to releave this propblem of illegal aliens

6. All these Gyro Gearloose types are going to do real damage one of these days

7. “The researchers say they will only revive the virus if they can be certain it’s not a threat to animals or humans.”
   And with their record of being right 100% of the time we should have nothing to worry about.

8. Doesn’t the virus require activation in a host to determine if its dangerous to a host?
   Given that any host is likely to have no immunity, one can presume it is and shouldn’t be activated.

9. Let sleeping viruses lie we have enough going around like the one I just had, thought I’d cough up my lungs.

10. And in Canada socialists are reawakening a ‘giant virus’ frozen in the Canadian wilderness. The NDP virus.

11. Haast’s Eagle…

12. They JUST HAD TO make a reference to globull warming in that article. They just couldn’t help but speculate that because of globull warming some deadly plague is just bound to be unfrozen and kill us all. EVERYTHING. MUST. BE. TIED. TO. GLOBULL. WARMING. Everything sciency.

13. It’s Prince Phillip finally coming back as a virus!

14. John Carpenter’s The Thing comes to mind…

15. Prince Philip is still standing beside his Queen, they have endured. He once said the Queen likes things that eat oats and fart, referring to her love of horses. He is well known for off the cuff remarks.

16. I haven’t heard of any progress on that project to re-introduce the mammoth.. How is it going? As a hunter I am somewhat interested, though not entirely decided to be in favour of it.

17. “The fact that two different viruses retain their infectivity in prehistorical permafrost layers should be of concern in a context of global warming,” the scientists warn in their study.
    ———————————————————–
    It’s been frozen for 30,000 years. I really don’t think the current mild warming (should it continue) will have much chance of thawing them.

18. I remember The Thing
    Came out in 1950.

19. How about some Hesperoronis large flightless swimming birds and big as a seal i.ll bet they would look cute swiming around snaking on all those delta smelt
