And Yet Another Pandemic?

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is not still over yet but yet Bill Gates predicts for another one now with different kind of pathogen according to him.

“….Another pandemic on the way when the one we’re in isn’t yet over? it sounds terrifying, but mega billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said we should be getting ready for just that. Gates spoke at Germany’s annual Munich Security Conference on Friday and told reporters risk of severe disease from Covid-19 have “dramatically reduced,” but that a future pandemic is a near certainty. “We’ll have another pandemic,” Gates told CNBC in a video of the conference. “It will be a different pathogen next time.” (Futurism)

“Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates on Thursday said the world may see another pandemic, likely a respiratory virus, even as he emphasised on strengthening diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines and R&D….."It won't necessarily be a coronavirus or even the flu. It is likely to be a respiratory virus. Because, with all the human travel we have now, that's the one that can spread in such a rapid way," he said.”(NDTV)

He said the cost of being ready or preparing for the next pandemic is not costly not much like to climate change if he said we will be rational about it. In his upcoming book “How To Prevent The Next Pandemic”, he lay out specific steps how we can stop the upcoming of a new pandemic and to provide health care around the world, as well. He also said we must move quickly to prevent a new pandemic in the future and able to roll out vaccines in just six months. He also mentioned of being a subject of conspiracy theories.
