    What is the 'zombie virus' found in Russia – and should we be worried?

    "How long these viruses could remain infectious once exposed to outdoor conditions and how likely they will be to encounter and infect a suitable host in the interval, is yet impossible to estimate.

    "But the risk is bound to increase in the context of global warming, when permafrost thawing will keep accelerating, and more people will be populating the Arctic in the wake of industrial ventures."

    Good grief, seriously? It's funny, I was thinking of this very same scenario just recently and here this is in the news today. Jurassic Park, anyone?
