Don’t look up: ‘Astonishing number’ of viruses float down on us from the sky

VANCOUVER — This study will make you think twice about stepping outside for a breath of fresh air. A team of scientists from around the world confirmed millions of viruses rising into the atmosphere, traveling — sometimes for thousands of miles — and falling back down to the surface.

The study, carried out by researchers from the U.S., Canada, and Spain, is the first of its kind to confirm viruses are being swept up into the free troposphere — the layer of atmosphere between the area where Earth’s weather systems develop — and below the stratosphere, where airplanes fly.

The numbers are “astonishing” the researchers say; but remember, a virus is a tiny particle, little more than a strand of DNA and a mechanism for attaching to organic matter. Scientists aren’t suggesting the slightest bit that we should all return to spending our lives in lockdown again. Countless studies continue to point to the great health benefits from spending more time outdoors.

“Every day, more than 800 million viruses are deposited per square meter above the planetary boundary layer — that’s 25 viruses for each person in Canada,” says University of British Columbia virologist Curtis Suttle, lead author of the study, in a media release.

Scientists have been finding genetically similar viruses in disparate parts of the planet.

“Roughly 20 years ago we began finding genetically similar viruses occurring in very different environments around the globe,” says Suttle. “This preponderance of long-residence viruses travelling the atmosphere likely explains why—it’s quite conceivable to have a virus swept up into the atmosphere on one continent and deposited on another.”

Suttle and his team found that viruses and bacteria are often swept up into the atmosphere by attaching themselves to particles in soil dust and sea spray. The researchers used platforms in Spain’s Sierra Nevada Mountains to detect how many viruses and bacteria were settling there every day. They found billions of viruses and tens of millions of bacteria being deposited there per square meter every day.

“Bacteria and viruses are typically deposited back to Earth via rain events and Saharan dust intrusions. However, the rain was less efficient removing viruses from the atmosphere,” adds study author Isabel Reche, a microbial ecologist from the University of Granada.

The full study is published in International Society for Microbial Ecology Journal.

    1. “Useless eater” that was a term both the National Socialists (Nazis) and Internationalist Socialists (Communists), used as an excuse to murder thousands of innocent handicapped people across Europe. Which one are you? Nazi or Communist?

      1. Neither, I am simply pointing out how the globalist elites (who are the same group as the Nazis and Communists) see most humans on the planet. Look up the “Georgia Guidestones”.

      2. You are totally correct. The treasonous, subversive, seditious, corrupt, Communist Globalist Democrats would love to help the European Globalists kill off our nation’s legal population and replace it with illegal aliens from all over the earth.

  1. Many people believe that the Federal swamp government is killing Americans using the Chemtrails being used for Weather Modification. The Chemtrails are said to kill weakened Americans in three ways, chemical burns to the lungs as the dangerous chemical powders in the chemtrails floats down to the earth, weather modification that kills Americans with horrible storms created by the weather modification, and flu and various other pathogens that are killing our people with diseases. The Bilderburgers claim that they are getting rid of eighty percent of the worlds population in order the make it easier for the Bilderburger Globalists to control the smaller worlds population more easily.

    I do know that The Communist Democrats working inside our Federal Agencies are capable of any evil. I would not put use of the chemtrails to kill American Patriots past them but I don’t know. I do know that something is going on with the chemtrails and it isn’t good.

    The entire Chemtrail thing should be investigated from top to bottom. If there are people within our government killing our citizens with cemtrails they need to be placed on trial and executed.

  2. If viruses can float thousands of miles throughout the atmosphere, then why didn’t the indigenous populations of North America already have some exposure to the viruses introduced by first European contact 500 years ago?

  3. What this really means is that if mush room clouds rise up the entire planets ppl’s will be goners.

  4. The more the west turns its back to God, worst things will fall from the sky. What we see today, is nothing compare to whats coming.

  5. Hey, Ben. I’m surprised you were paid to write this Chicken Little copycat. Plagiarise much? Sounds like you’re encouraging people to remain in their parents’ basements.

  6. Chem trail Program is responsible for 100% of these. Big Pharma is the big winners here. Their Vaccines, over the counter and prescriptions drugs have made them over 2 trillion dollars a year from this fiasco. WE are the victims of these corporate Giants.

  7. It is not coming from the sky. It is coming from the ground and being swept up into the sky and being deposited back down sometimes thousands of miles away. So theoretically it could be coming from a country, say Russia, and back down in another continent. Those that speculate that the pathogen’s are being killed, do not explain why they are still alive here to count. Maybe some are killed but if millions are recorded enough to write this article, that means billions are in the atmosphere being killed. Only the strongest are making it back to earth.

  8. look up if ya think those white trails following all those planes for the length of the sky are simple contrails, and Ya believe The Satanic Elite have our best interests in mind, good for you go get another flu shot and sit in front of the TV . Its all so absurd and now they are putting cartoon cars in space and landing the rockets back on the ground, wow what won’t ya’ll not believe.

  9. Lets pretend that the the new world order does not want to depopulate the earth by killing most people off. Lets pretend they are not spraying viruses and bacteria on us from jet airplanes that like to do checker board patterns in the sky. Lets pretend that morgellons is just a sickness of the imagination…sigh

  10. Even though the aerial spraying and “geo-engineering” are realities, people are still in denial. Bacteria and viruses are found in some of this stuff under microscopic examination, and I doubt it all got there naturally. Humanity has been subjected to all kinds of nefarious experiments in the past, and we likely still are.
