According to the WHO, the most likely cause of Disease X will be a respiratory virus that could do more damage than COVID, which has killed over 7 million people worldwide.

One of the topics reportedly covered was using new communication strategies to reduce the spread of conspiracy theories and other forms of misinformation.
