Oh are we not using the scientifically correct term for giant viruses? Because I think the word Girus is hilarious and want to see it more (don’t you dare curl monkeys paw).
“first sightings of viruses that we have never seen before.”
This can hardly be the first ones. I’m pretty sure there were other sightings of viruses never seen before. 😬
I guess they had already seen all of the other viruses that they hadn’t seen before they saw them.
Of course it’s from around Worcester 🙄
Unrelated but with more and more permafrost thawing, I wonder if we’ll see even more weird and ancient virus and bacteria in the future.
“That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.”
Seems appropriate considering these were found in Lovecraft country. How long until we start seeing the fish-faced people?
Isn’t this how The Whisperer in Darkness begins?
Presumably they were found in the area near Dunwich by researchers out of Miskatonic University?
I’ve seen the Andromeda Strain and this does not end well!
