Experts call it Disease X - the next lethal pandemic that will infect the world and threaten once again to leave Britain stricken and paralysed under lockdowns.
Scientists warn that Britain is underprepared for the next pandemic, referred to as Disease X, which could be more severe than COVID-19. Disease X could emerge as a novel virus or a mutated strain of an existing one, such as flu, monkeypox, or dengue. Experts highlight the UK's inadequate stockpiling of personal protective equipment (PPE) and treatments, the sale of a key vaccine development center, and the lack of advanced infrastructure like ventilation systems. They urge investment in better monitoring, testing, and public health measures to prevent future lockdowns.
