The article links to several research papers. Did you try reading those or do you only read "facts" that align with your world view?
To help you out, here are the researched facts that the article links to:
1) 1918 Spanish flu virus found in corpses buried in Alaska's tundra https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17944266 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17944266
2) Study on the effects of permafrost melt in East Siberia and the 18th and 19th century deadly infections it might release http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3402/gha.v4i0.8482 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3402/gha.v4i0.8482
3) Results from a study on the viruses present in the corpses of Stone Age people http://www.istc.int/en/project/84980DF9853EABD94325690B000F3840 http://www.istc.int/en/project/84980DF9853EABD94325690B000F3...
4) Frozen bodies found to have contained fragments of DNA of Smallpox virus http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc1208124 http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc1208124
5) Proof that frozen bacteria from 32,000 years ago can actually be revived http://ijs.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.63384-0 http://ijs.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10...
6) Did i say 32,000 years? I meant 8million years http://www.pnas.org/content/104/33/13455 http://www.pnas.org/content/104/33/13455
7) Not just bacteria, 30,000 year old viruses can be revived as well http://www.pnas.org/content/111/11/4274 http://www.pnas.org/content/111/11/4274
8) Ancient bacteria are resistant to 70% of known antibiotics https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms13803 https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms13803
9) Many of the bacteria emerging from melting permafrost may already have antibiotic resistance because natural resistance to antibiotics is so prevalent https://www.nature.com/articles/nature10388.epdf?referrer_access_token=vIJm1Fen3ed5BcpIim5WhtRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0MPQGiBNlRDe3uwpmrvesiuaKDH0OWImvSE6Wxos8vQTfTjQ8hGJSVn_Ln8Lehc5kInN4x8iAJnpYfFhhsufMLBogyz-Ap3lSMGgaLnFmI7fV2Z14Q81YDJ3XeQRT0OJCcjkxBSKOTO9fc0ycHYjbTFcJJV8d44LQO7ROh2jwFbhUmisRitW2ZuKiiriTFvRyEr89CzRaEkOWHGZor2E4DzUrqAzyNzIVdg1kWVnBsnEA%3D%3D&tracking_referrer=www.bbc.com https://www.nature.com/articles/nature10388.epdf?referrer_ac...
But yes, lets talk about facts.
