Bill Gates in his Ted Talk of 2015, titled: “The Next Outbreak? We’re Not Ready,” had warned about the possibility of a pandemic and the world’s unpreparedness for it. In his words: “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. We have invested a lot in nuclear weapons but very little to stop an epidemic. We’re not ready for the next epidemic.”
