Health Minister Fahrettin Koca has made statements regarding Disease X, which is claimed to be 20 times more lethal than Covid-19 and for which the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a "preparedness" warning.
Sharing on his X account, Koca stated, "It has no real-life equivalent. Rest assured. And protect yourself from the common cold."
Koca's statement is as follows:
"Hypothetical Disease. Disease X, as named by the WHO. It has no real-life equivalent. It is mentioned in theoretical terms in studies conducted to ensure we are not caught unprepared if a pandemic occurs in the future. Rest assured. And protect yourself from the common cold."
Farzımuhal Hastalık. DSÖ’nün verdiği isimle X hastalığı. Gerçek hayatta karşılığı yok. İleride bir gün bir salgın yaşanacak olursa, ona hazırlıksız yakalanmamak için yapılan çalışmalarda teorik anlamda geçiyor. Siz rahat olun. Ve kendinizi soğuk algınlığından koruyun.
