"Global Health Experts Issue Warning of Potential Pandemic 20 Times Deadlier Than COVID-19"
At the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization warned of a potential future pandemic, referred to as Disease X, which could be 20 times worse than COVID-19. Disease X is a hypothetical pathogen that experts are using to plan for future health crises, with a focus on developing strategies to prevent or manage such a pandemic. The WHO emphasized the need for better communication strategies to combat misinformation and conspiracy theories, and has already initiated efforts to support technology sharing and disease surveillance between countries.
