Technologist, business leader, philanthropist Bill Gates alerted people about a possible pandemic in the future in his now-famous TED Talk in 2015. With the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, our world has changed a lot. Many people have lost their lives or livelihoods in the last two years of the pandemic. Reflecting upon the pandemic and what can be done to make Covid-19 the last pandemic, Bill Gates has penned a new book titled 'How to Prevent the Next Pandemic' which will be published this year.
Sharing the news about his new book, Gates wrote on his official blog on February 9, "Whenever I see the suffering that COVID has created–every time I read about the latest death toll or hear about someone who lost their job or drive by a school that is closed—I can’t help but think: We don’t have to do this again.
