According to WHO estimates, the death rate may be twenty times higher than the coronavirus, the pandemic that the world has experienced.
One of the topics of the World Economic Forum, which will be held in Davos, Switzerland, is “Disease X,” which may have a mortality rate 20 times higher than that of COVID-19. The announcement on Saturday, January 13, was published on the event’s website.
The meeting, titled “Preparing for Disease X,” will take place on January 17th. The speaker will be the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhan Ghebreyesus. The speakers of this panel will be the Minister of Health of Brazil, Nicia Trindade Lima, as well as a representative of the concern of Royal Philips and the chairman of the board of the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca Plc.
The World Economic Forum will take place from 15 to 19 January 2024.
“Disease X” is a hypothetical name for an unknown pathogen capable of causing an epidemic or pandemic. According to the head of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, the “X” in the name means “surprise.”
Let’s remember that at a meeting of the WHO emergency committee about COVID-19, they decided to continue the pandemic, which has been going on for three years, because it does not stop being a “global threat.”
