Disease X, a term coined by the World Health Organization (WHO), poses a grave threat, potentially deadlier than Covid-19.

Kate Bingham, former chair of the UK's Vaccine Taskforce, warns that Disease X could have a devastating impact akin to the 1919-1920 Spanish Flu.

Disease X could manifest as a new agent—a virus, bacterium, or fungus—with no known treatments, according to WHO.
