It seems now they have a handle on bat flu and it is fast becoming a thing of the past, a new deadlier killer disease called 'X' that no one seems to know what it looks like, how it affects humans, where it might spring from or when it will appear looks to be on the way. .....
A 2022 statement from the World Health Organization defines the term this way: “Disease X is used to indicate an unknown pathogen that could cause a serious international epidemic.”.
Thomas Russo, MD, who is an infectious diseases expert at the University of Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, told The Independent. ...."There’s no way to tell when Disease X will emerge, nor can we make any educated guesses about how deadly it will be".
And Dr. John Campbell points out......"It’s a virus that we don't know yet, but we do know is out there,and we do know has the potential to spill over from an animal population potentially into humans, perhaps mutate or adapt itself and then begin spreading and killing people faster than we can contain it.”
From The Lancet...WHO has listed several priority diseases with epidemic potential for which there are no, or insufficient, medical countermeasures. In response, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (with support from PricewaterhouseCoopers) coordinated subject matter experts to create a preparedness plan for Disease X. Disease X is caused by Pathogen X, an infectious agent that is not currently known to cause human disease, ....
Disease X is a nomer used to model the inevitable next pandemic, it's not an actual disease. The worlds health services got a severe wake up call at just how unprepared they were with covid. It makes sense they make preparations now.
Only 100 years ago 100 million lay dead at the hands of influenza, and that wasn't tampered around with in a Chinese lab. The next zoonotic pathogen which jumps to humans is what they are worried about.
