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.

Amazing! And chemtrails which are sprayed all over the world, every day, with impunity, no ones what’s in it, it takes a bright an sunny day and turns into overcast? Naw, that’s not the reason! As a matter of fact they don’t exist, just another conspiracy theory! Right? Thought so!
SO…….the study JUST found out that viruses,bacteria, organisms, etc, etc…fall from the sky…does that mean that before the study they did not…..what an asinine article…what happens naturally has been happening since life was created on earth….The fact remains that most parasitic organisms cannot exist away from their host for a very short time and in most cases hours…..that is why when Europeans came to North America, their exposure to Native Americans wiped out millions and some cases 100% of certain tribes, because they brought diseases, like common cold, Diphtheria, chicken pox, and other microbes that can be airborne, but were not native to this continent….you never hear of diseases specific to Africa in North America.
So…. this has been taking place for years?
Ah we don’t need to worry about the streets of California where peoples deposit on the grounds, the deposits dry up and become powder to become airborne, no that is all coming from overseas you say?
Chemtrail fall-out.
Geoengineering anyone ?
Biological warfare put up into the atmosphere by a “little fat man”? The prevailing winds are from west to east?
What’a ya know! Chicken Little was right! We’re all DOOMED!
Good thing ole Mother nature gave us inherent antiviral immune systems.
OM friggin G people…. They are now telling you that the sky is falling.
Vaccines are for morons
Vaccines are sold based on fear and if not for fear, no one would get one and fewer people would get sick.
sounds like chemtrails to me. … besides the heavy metals, they have included mold spores and who knows what else. Vaccinations carry the same stuff ~ So glad that I have a healing Jesus and He is the great physician.
Obviously CHEMTRAILS!
OK, so the sky is falling. What else is new?
Search engine what has happened to a fair amount of children given Tamiflu (sp?).
Horrendous results!
I didn’t think viruses could survive that long without a host!
And to think I survived six decades of breathing in air and now I learn it can kill me. How did I ever survive this long without the government??
This article is a big pile of leftist crap and meant to instill fear and dependency on the government to fix something that isn’t broke in the first place!
The world is, has been and always will be filled with millions and millions of viruses and bacteria so stop reading this kind of leftist crap and get on with life!!
Ben Renner, get a life and stop playing like H.G. Wells and trying to spread panic in the country, you stupid, leftist, jackoff face!!
It couldn’t be the chemtrails..,,,,

The big question is what percentage of the viruses are pathogenic
So much for sunlight being the best disinfectant…
Must take my wife to a distant pharmacy; –non-believer in natural healing. I’m into simple, affordable, available, garlic (SAAG). Take no meds ever for viruses induced illnesses of any kind. Would take Nano Silver So1lution 10 ppm (10 ppm) important!; but it is not yet available in distributions here in the Philippines… be back… I’m heading to my 80th birthday in June!
Chemtrails, period.
