At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, a panel of health industry leaders discussed the importance of preplanning for the outbreak of a hypothetical Disease X.
Disease X is not a specific disease but is the name given to a potential novel infectious agent. It represents an illness which is currently unknown but could pose a serious microbial threat to humans in the future.
The WHO has warned that Disease X could result in 20 times more fatalities than COVID-19. COVID-19 has killed approximately seven million people around the world.
