Disease X: In 2019, the infection corona virus that started from China spread to the world in a few months and took the form of an epidemic. The whole world came under the grip of this dangerous infection and is still struggling with it.
Nearly a year later, the corona virus vaccine is ready and now people are eagerly waiting for it to be put back on track to gradually bring their lives back on track. However, there was some relief about Corona now that a virus that has spread even faster has been detected.
Jean-Jacques Muembe Tamfum, a scientist who has detected the African virus Ebola, has issued a warning that the disease X can spread more dangerously and faster than covid-19. Let us tell you that in the year 1976, Dr. Jean Jacques Muenbe Tamfum played an important role in the detection of Ebola virus.
What is Disease-X?
Two variants of Kovid-19 have rocked the world and due to this, cases of infection have increased. At the same time, predictions are also being made about the Disease-X, where ‘X’ means the unexpected. The WHO has so far described the infection as fictitious, which could lead to an epidemic in the future.
Is Disease-X a threat to humans?
It is being said at the moment that ‘disease-x’ can affect humans in a big way, ie the danger is large. The infection is reported to be as deadly as the Ebola virus, spreading as fast as Kovid-19, and could possibly take the form of another pandemic in the coming days.
Prof. Warning about unknown diseases. Tamfum said that new viruses from the tropical forests of Africa can spread rapidly and prove to be a threat to humanity. We are now living in a world where pathogens will come out, which is the biggest threat to humanity.
Is Disease-X even more dangerous than Corono?
When the professor was asked whether any new disease or infection could prove more dangerous than Kovid-19? In response, he said- “I think yes.” His remarks came after a woman in a remote city of Congo showed signs of a hemorrhagic fever. Scientists fear it may be a part of a new and potentially deadly virus. They fear that these pathogens may be as contagious as the corona virus, and have a mortality rate as high as 50–90% of Ebola.
The woman was identified as Ingande, who had been tested for a number of Ebola-related diseases, but all of them had negative results. After which it is feared that his illness may have been caused by the so-called ‘Disease X’. Doctors believe that all of us should be afraid of this new disease at this time, because Ebola and Kovid-19 were not even known before.
At the same time, Muembe warned that in the coming time many zoonotic diseases can spread, which have come from animals to humans. Zoonotic diseases such as yellow fever, rabies, brucellosis, and Lyme disease came from animals to humans and took the form of epidemics in some countries or worldwide. At the same time, dangerous HIV emerged from a kind of chimpanzee and then mutated and became fatal. SARS-CoV-2 along with SARS and MERS are all corona viruses, which suddenly began to spread from animals to humans.
