There are diseases hidden in ice, and they are waking up
Throughout history, humans have existed side-by-side with bacteria and viruses. From the bubonic plague to smallpox, we have evolved to resist them, and in response they have developed new ways of infecting us.
We have had antibiotics for almost a century, ever since Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. In response, bacteria have responded by evolving antibiotic resistance. The battle is endless: because we spend so much time with pathogens, we sometimes develop a kind of natural stalemate.
However, what would happen if we were suddenly exposed to deadly bacteria and viruses that have been absent for thousands of years, or that we have never met before?

【意訳】
歴史を通じて人類は、バクテリアやウイルスと共に生きてきました。ペストから天然痘まで我々は対抗すべく進化し、その一方で彼ら（バクテリアやウイルス）も我々に感染すべく新たな方法を取ってきました。
歴史を通じて人類は、バクテリアやウイルスと共に生きてきました。ペストから天然痘まで我々は対抗すべく進化し、その一方で彼ら（バクテリアやウイルス）も我々に感染すべく新たな方法を取ってきました。
Alexander Flemingがペニシリンを発見して以来、1世紀の間に抗生物質を手にしました。また一方でバクテリアは、抗生物質に耐性を持つように進化することで対抗してきました。戦いに終わりはありません。なぜなら病原体に（対抗するための）時間を費し（抗生物質を開発する）と、（病原体が耐性を持つことで）我々が自然と手詰まりを生み出すことになるからです。
しかしながら、もし何千年もの間地球上にいなかったり、我々が過去に見たこともない死をもたらすようなバクテリアやウイルスに突然さらされるとすれば、一体どうなるのでしょうか。
