The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the world must be prepared for an epidemic that is even more deadly than COVID-19 caused by the coronavirus. Meanwhile, he also reminded that COVID-19 is no longer a health emergency. He also stated that they have a new global plan to detect and monitor the most dangerous pathogens.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated at the World Health Assembly forum held in Geneva, Switzerland, that another pandemic cannot be postponed. Dr. Tedros says the threat of another variant emerging, causing new waves of sickness and death, remains. In addition, there is still the threat of the emergence of another pathogen with even more deadly potential, and we need to be prepared for this.
Dr. Tedros calls the next pandemic “Disease X”. This is because the outbreak could be caused by an as yet undiscovered microorganism.
In short, this warning can be taken as an alarm for the World to be prepared for Disease X now. Because it can not be said that we were caught very well prepared for COVID-19.
