"Preparing for Disease X: World Health Leaders Warn of Potential Pandemic 20 Times Deadlier Than COVID"

The World Health Organization has warned world leaders about the potential of a future pandemic, referred to as Disease X, which could be 20 times worse than COVID-19. This hypothetical pathogen, possibly a respiratory virus already circulating in animals, could pose a significant threat if not adequately prepared for. The WHO emphasized the need for global cooperation in developing strategies to prevent or manage such a pandemic, while also addressing the importance of combating misinformation and conspiracy theories. Initiatives are already underway to enhance disease surveillance and technology sharing to protect against future pandemics.
