Do viruses that threaten mankind more dangerous than coronavirus?

A mysterious disease from space that threatens to wipe people off the face of the Earth or create monsters is actually the mythic formula of science. Can this fantastic scenario become reality?

Professor Dov Greenbaum, director of the Academy Institute for Legal Implicitation for New Technology, argues that the search for life outside the Earth could be a threat to infection worse than the Coronavirus. At the time of rapid travel and the ease of moving, he says, viruses spread quickly and easily.

At the same time, he noted, research in recent decades has shown that certain bacteria become more lethal and resistant when they grow into space.

Despite the myth of scientific fictions of lethal infections in space used, for example, in Andromeda Strain, NASA continues to exhibit enzyme and send genetically grown bacteria samples to the International Space Station (ISS).

Although the spread of a foreign virus in real life is unlikely to be”, Down Greenbaum says we shouldn't be very optimistic.

In a study published last year, astrobiologists say viruses can spread through the galaxy even in seemingly dead rocks of space, providing evidence of life or any change in space,” it concluded.

More than a formula for scientific fiction?

Grenbaum says that if alien life exists, “also exists the possibility of introducing new infections far more dangerous than the Coronavirus”.

While NASA plans to take rock samples from Mars, the Japanese mission Haybus 2 is moving from mission to the Rock sample asteroid. He will arrive later this year. As Greenbaum points out, there is danger that such a mission will bring viruses from space.

“While we hope that none of these missions will bring any virus, it is likely that at some point in the future,” concluded.
