Sounds like a good excuse to blame climate change for the next outbreak
Also they’re just begging to frick around to find out

Scientists have revived a "zombie" virus that spent 48,500 years frozen in permafrost "to better understand the risks" it poses for animals and humans.

Warmer temperatures in the Arctic are thawing the region's permafrost - a frozen layer of soil beneath the ground - and potentially stirring viruses that, after lying dormant for tens of thousands of years, could endanger animal and human health.
While a pandemic unleashed by a disease from the distant past sounds like the plot of a sci-fi movie, scientists warn that the risks, though low, are underappreciated. Chemical and radioactive waste that dates back to the Cold War, which has the potential to harm wildlife and disrupt ecosystems, may also be released during thaws.
“There’s a lot going on with the permafrost that is of concern, and (it) really shows why it’s super important that we keep as much of the permafrost frozen as possible,” said Kimberley Miner, a climate scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

I have a feeling we're about to get a real good understanding of the risks.

When aliens reach this planet at some point in the future, they’ll discover the demise of all life on Earth came from humans doing something insanely stupid like reviving a 50,000 year old virus.

Then when they discover that the risks are something we aren't capable of handling, then what?
Some scientists are just dumb as rocks!
