According to him, experts are planning to come up with a mechanism that will make it possible to develop and start using a cure within a short time after the first case of “disease X” is detected.
“Time plays a critical role. If enough time passes for a pandemic to fully manifest itself, it is difficult to fight it at such stages. If you manage to buy this situation at an early stage, you can avoid a pandemic altogether, for example, limit the outbreak to humans or animals in general, prevent or delay the time before the pandemic develops. Such a concept has been developed for this purpose. This is not a disease that actually exists today, it is a concept that allows you to effectively plan anti-pandemic activities,” he explained.
Participants of the World Economic Forum in Davos plan to discuss “disease X”, according to the announcement of the event. According to the World Health Organisation’s forecasts, the disease can cause 20 times more fatalities than COVID-19. At the meeting on 17 January, participants will discuss what efforts should be made to prepare the health care system for the upcoming challenges.
