False.
Emerging infectious diseases are a heterogeneous group. Some (e.g., Ebola) do cause sudden, severe outbreaks that fade and recur, but others emerge slowly or become persistent/endemic or pandemic (e.g., HIV, SARS‑CoV‑2). Mortality, pattern of spread, and duration vary widely, so the statement overgeneralizes.
