Bill Gates has warned humans of two future dangers that could be even worse than Covid.
As information, in 2015, Bill Gates warned the world was unprepared for the next epidemic and five years later millions of people were hit with coronavirus.
He predicted the spread of the virus, saying people will feel well enough while they’re infectious that they get on a plane or they go to a market.
The Microsoft boss’ latest prediction believes the greatest threats to humanity comes down to climate change and bioterrorism.
Gates gave a TED talk, called, ‘The Next Outbreak? We’re Not Ready’.
He spoke about the potential for a virus similar to Covid-19 and stressed humans needed to be prepared.
At the time, he said: “If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. Not missiles, but microbes.”
He then offered his predictions for the future, “One is climate change. Every year that would be a death toll even greater than we have had in this pandemic.”
He then added, “Bio-terrorism. Somebody who wants to cause damage could engineer a virus and that means the cost, the chance of running into this is more than the naturally-caused epidemics like the current one.”
He claims there is no way humans can stop future pandemics.
