The head of the World Health Organization has called on countries to sign the health organization's pandemic treaty to prepare the world for a "Disease X," an undesignated term for a future pandemic that could be more deadly than anything humanity has faced.
Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, noting that he hoped nations across the world would reach a pandemic agreement by May to address a future danger, according to the New York Post. Scientists have speculated that "Disease X" could be up to 20 times more deadly than COVID-19.
