WHO Urges Global Pandemic Treaty to Combat Deadly 'Disease X'

The WHO warns of a potential pandemic 20 times deadlier than Covid-19, referred to as "Disease X," urging countries to endorse a pandemic treaty to prepare for this hypothetical but dangerous pathogen. Disease X represents an unidentified virus that could be significantly more lethal than Covid-19, and the WHO stresses the need for readiness and global cooperation to combat future pandemics. The organization has proposed strategies to strengthen surveillance, develop vaccines, enhance public health measures, and build resilience in preparation for the emergence of Disease X.
