Zombie Virus: Twitter burst into hilarious memes after 48,000-year-old virus revived in Russia

New Delhi: Zombie virus has started trending on Twitter after the new virus has reportedly been revived in Russia from a frozen lake. Under the hashtag, people are sharing funny memes and reactions to the news. Notably, the French National Centre for Scientific Research’s Scientists has uncovered the 48,000-year-old zombie virus from permafrost in Siberia.

According to reports, researchers decided to retract the ancient samples due to climate change posing a threat to the thawing of permafrost and releasing the virus.

On Twitter, people are terming the new development as a big threat to all human kinds. However, a few netizens are confused about whether it really poses a cause for concern.
