Disease X: The Next Pandemic? ❌
Disease X is a term used by the World Health Organization to describe a hypothetical new pathogen that could potentially cause a global pandemic. With the increasing interconnectedness of the world and the rapid spread of infectious diseases, the emergence of a new, unknown pathogen is a very real threat. Scientists and public health experts are constantly monitoring for signs of Disease X and working to develop preparedness plans to mitigate its impact if it were to occur. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for robust global health infrastructure and cooperation to effectively respond to such a threat.
