The Independent continues to focus on essential issues from reproductive rights to climate change, ensuring vital news is accessible without paywalls. In the wake of emerging health threats, a watchlist of 24 infectious diseases has been established by the UK Health Security Agency to prepare for potential public health crises. This list includes viruses capable of causing pandemics and those likely to increase due to climate changes. Experts assert this proactive approach will aid in developing necessary vaccines and diagnostics to combat such threats, enhancing preparedness for future outbreaks.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.
We hope this will help to speed up vaccine and diagnostics development where it is most needed.
Some viruses on the list have the potential to cause a global pandemic, like Covid.
Quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
