This is definitely not going to destroy the human race. Definitely.

Did they say, "Wake up, sleepyhead", or just poke it with a science stick?

Just great. Next they'll crossbreed it with Rabies and Covid-19. Maybe a bit of Ebola for that 28 ___ Later look?

How do they know it's a zombie virus?

Sounds like they made the virus themselves and were sloppy with the logic of the cover-up story.

The thought of all of humanity, with its massive growth and history and technological advances, being completely wiped out by single celled organisms, is so ironic yet romantic

As several people here have already pointed out, and as was mentioned in the article, the permafrost is already melting. This research is being conducted BECAUSE people are concerned about viruses thawing out and becoming infectious again. They're looking to see where the viruses are, what kinds we'd be dealing with, and whether they even would still be viable after so long (as this test determined, the answer is at least sometimes yes, which is good to know!). And the article also specifies it's a virus that only infects amoebas - they specifically chose it because they didn't want to risk reviving anything that could spread to people or animals.

Everyone's so eager to believe scientists don't know what they're doing, I stg. I blame Michael Crichton.

Probably the same scientists that created a black hole to see what would happen. They ran out of safe ideas.

These viruses are going to revive anyway with the thawing of the permafrost due to global warming. It's a great idea to do research on them so we can prepare for what's coming and not get blindsided.

Scientist does normal research in a well-controlled environment.

Masses freak out because the word "Virus" is in headline.
