Bill Gates addresses the aftermath of this global disaster
During a Squawk Box podcast that’s been just released, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates addresses what will happen once the exponential coronavirus curve beings to flatten.
Gates has been studying deadly pandemics for years, and he warned back in 2015 during the ebola breakout that “If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. Not missiles but microbes…”
Back then, he said: “You can have a virus where people feel well enough while they’re infectious that they get on a plane or they go to a market.”
The nightmare we’ve all been talking about
He calls COVID-19 the nightmare we’ve all been talking about. His foundation is allocating $100 million to fight the disease. He talks about when life can return to normal.
“Until we can say to people that we’re tracking this thing so well that actually going out to your job, to a car factory, to a construction site – that those are safe enough – until we get there, which we’re absolutely not, no one should think the government can wave a wand and all of the sudden the economy is anything like it was before this happened…”
