Plays radio network, and now chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

We know that the World Health Organization keeps a short list of priority diseases, which

is, you know, I'm a fan of, and those priority diseases could cause the next deadly pandemic.

Most of the diseases are already known to us, Ebola, SARS, Zika, they're on the cut.

The final entry is disease X. Disease X is used by the who as a placeholder to describe a

disease that's unknown to medical science as a cause of human infections. So could be bacterium,

fungus, or we just don't know, that's why it's disease X. Now according to Dr. Chatterjee,

who's a researcher at the Department of International Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School

of Public Health in Baltimore, his quote is, it's not an exaggeration to say that there is potential

of a disease X event right around the corner. I know I added a word. The quote is, it's not an

exaggeration to say that there is potential of disease X event just around the corner. That's Dr.

Chatterjee, who's a researcher at the Department of International Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg

School of Public Health in Baltimore. Now the recent spade of H5N1 bird flu cases in Cambodia

is just kind of a case in point. So experts believe that disease X will be zoonotic, meaning it will

originate in wild or domestic animals, then spill over to infect humans, would not have been

man-made. Disease X would not be man-made. We don't do that kind of stuff, right? Dr. Fauci,

right. Of course we don't. So Ebola, HIV, AIDS, and COVID-19. Of course, they say COVID-19 was

zoonotic. Was it? Was it, okay. All right. So the possibility of an engineered pandemic pathogen

also cannot be ignored. Yeah, no kidding. Thank you, journal infection control and hospital

epidemiology. So just be prepared for disease X. Another possible source could be zombie viruses

that have been locked in permafrost or other frozen landscapes for centuries. And you know why,

those are being released, don't you? Yes, climate change. So other priority diseases on
