The findings of the study : Raw Sewage Harbors Diverse Viral Populations

Sewers, the perfect petri dish for viruses. Imagine how many differents chemicals, organics and every kind of everythings imaginable ends up in the sewer.

Im not so surprised about their findings, are you ?

I think this is a real problem that need to be fixed in some ways, this is a pandemic time bomb and im not trying to be fearmonging

As of right now, scientists report that over 80% of these viruses lurking in the sewage are not yet capable of infecting humans nor similar complex organisms made up of complicated cells. Problems arise, however, as these viruses are given the proper environment for mutation to occur


As of right now its not so bad, but it could be in the future. Thats why i suggest they fix it right now in some way.

But sadly i smell the horrible scent of money lurking around, I already hear the CEO of big pharma

" That's great dude, that's 43 000 new potential vaccines to sell "

You know...

Ya gotta laugh.

.....on the subject of microbiomes mentioned a few threads up by muzzleflash, has anyone heard anything about the atmospheric biome project? The one where the goal was to create a kind of biomic map of our skies?

I beleive you when you said its safe AFTER treatment but they talk about the stuff before he reach the treatment plant, what is in the pipe laying there forever never treated.
