Never seen or maybe vaguely heard about it until after COVID and just watched it.

It has Minneappolis in it(I'm from St.Paul) so crazy this came out in 2011 and less than 10 years we uh had a similar experience.

Bet this sparked some conspiracy theories

I remember seeing that movie in theaters and wondering if that was even possible in today's world. Sure enough, the world showed me not even 10 years later.

Most viral pathogens in humans have animal origins and arose through cross-species transmission. Over the past 50 years, several viruses, including Ebola virus, Marburg virus, Nipah virus, Hendra virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2, have been linked back to various bat species.
So with other words, somebody had done their research.

Is there any possibility for a virus to come from ice that thawed out? A virus that is from thousands or millions of years ago, and then some ice melts and the virus comes out?

Theoretically? Yes.
Scientists have even revived 50,000 years old viruses that they have found in permafrost.

She was barely even in the movie. You're either talking about the wrong character or the wrong movie altogether.

During the height of the pandemic quarantine i decided to watch the Planet of the Apes remakes.
And the second movies intro starts with a bit about how a species hopping virus kills alot of people, quarantines, followed by civil unrest killing more and the global civilisation eventual collapse.

The first one ends with showing how it spreads globally on the map.

Left 4 Dead was ahead of its time. It predicted that a pandemic would reduce much of the population to mindless violent idiots. Its just in that game it was the virus itself, whereas in real life it was conservative anti-vaxx propaganda.

Before covid we had SARS in 2004.
Which was from SARS-CoV-1 virus, and Covid was SARS-CoV-2.

Remember swine flu? I miss the days when something could be initially alarming and then quietly fade away, rather than being initially alarming and then going on to fuck us all.
