Chinese scientist Gao Fu has no doubt that in the future humanity will encounter a new pathogen, codenamed “virus X.”
According to the head of the CDC research center, to combat the possible spread of the pathogen of the next disease, people need to interact.
As Gao Fu noted, a serious problem at the moment is not only the COVID-19 pandemic, but also the so-called “infodemic.”
We are talking about a situation where real information is “mixed” with fake information, which leads to dangerous consequences.
This gives rise to many rumors and problems that have to be solved, – MIA quotes the words of a Chinese specialist.
A new pathogen and ways to combat it
According to Gao Fu’s forecast, the “X virus” may begin to spread throughout the world in the future.
There is currently no information available about this pathogen. It is also unknown where exactly the first cases of infection will be recorded.
However, the specialist is confident that people now need to develop a plan to combat the disease.
The scientist proposed four principles: cooperation, competition, coordination and information exchange.
The researcher paid special attention to the fourth direction.
As Gao Fu emphasized, it was the transfer of the necessary information that helped humanity quickly begin to create an anti-Covid vaccine.
