"Global Call for Pandemic Treaty to Combat Deadly 'Disease X'"
TL;DR
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has urged countries to sign a pandemic treaty to prepare for the potential arrival of Disease X, a future pandemic that could be 20 times deadlier than COVID-19. At the World Economic Forum, health officials warned that Disease X has the potential to kill 50 million people and emphasized the importance of proactive measures to save lives and costs. Disease X is not a specific illness but represents a potential unknown virus that could pose a serious threat, and the WHO has already begun implementing measures to prepare for another outbreak.
