Just in case you were feeling pretty good about getting back to normal after the last two years, Bill Gates has some news for you.
In fact, the Microsoft co-founder says ‘we haven’t even seen the worst of it.’
Earlier this year, the foundation pledged $150 million to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation . The money is going towards helping to fight against Covid and also prepare for any future pandemics we may encounter. ‘The models for wealthy countries are still Sweden and Norway, who each give at least 0.7 of their GDP in aid. If we’re going to be serious about preventing the next pandemic, we need to not just go back to pre-COVID aid levels but increase investments in strengthening health systems.’He also recommends the creation of two teams, the first to identify threats and the second to respond to them.
‘Part of the reason for this is we have invested a huge amount in nuclear deterrents, but we’ve actually invested very little in a system to stop an epidemic.Citing the Ebola outbreak, he highlighted how the world was ‘far slower than we should have been’ due to the lack of personnel and epidemiologists ready to go, describing it as a ‘global failure.’, Gates reinforced this message, saying a fast-moving airborne pathogen could kill tens of millions of people in a worst-case scenario.
