New Bill Gates Book Tackles Ways To Prevent The Next Pandemic

Bill Gates has been working to combat the spread of the deadly COVID-19 infection worldwide, and apparently, he has little time to engage in gobbling up social media platforms and ridiculing workers and executives with impunity.

In the April 30, 2022 edition of his “Gates Notes,” the former Microsoft chairman made a pitch for his book, “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic,” which comes out on Tuesday, May 3.

“I’m excited to get out there and talk about it because even though COVID-19 isn’t totally behind us, this is the right time to be discussing how the world can make sure no one ever has to live through anything like this again,” Gates said.

No one who has been through the COVID-19 catastrophe needs to be told why pandemic prevention matters—the death toll and economic losses have been enormous.

“But investing in the systems needed to keep outbreaks from going global has another benefit: Shrinking the gap in health between people in rich countries and poor ones. Virtually everything the world should do to prevent pandemics will also be useful in fighting diseases like malaria and HIV/AIDS—and vice versa,” Gates argued.

He said a chapter in the book he had been working on for the past year is simply entitled “Practice, Practice, Practice.”

It is about why the world should be running outbreak simulations—and the fascinating history of previous simulations like Crimson Contagion and Dark Winter. “I learned a lot working on the chapter and hope you’ll enjoy it,” Gates concluded.
