The World Health Organisation has warned the hypothetical pathogen could kill 20 times more people than the Covid pandemic did.


Disease X represents a hypothetical, currently unknown pathogen, which was added to the WHO's list of nine priority diseases in 2018.

"Disease X represents the knowledge that a serious international epidemic could be caused by a pathogen currently unknown to cause human disease," the UN agency said.

The WHO ranks Disease X alongside Covid, Ebola, Zika virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars).


Disease X could 'kill off pubs' as experts claim it could start new pandemic

A panel chaired by WHO president Dr Tedros Adhanom Gehreyesus looked into new efforts to prepare healthcare systems for the "multiple challenges ahead".

Experts do not yet know what virus will cause the next pandemic - but they have warned for decades that bird flu is the most likely candidate.

Researchers believe this is due to the threat of recombination, with high levels of human flu increasing the chance of co-infection with avian flu.

Others have long theorised that Disease X might spread by zoonotic transmission, which occurs when an animal virus or bacteria jumps to humans.

Maybe the vax that killed so many over the last few years was actually made to keep weak libs alive for this one?
