Bill Gates predicted a new crisis after the COVID-19 pandemic

Microsoft founder Gates warned of another crisis after the COVID-19 pandemic

Microsoft founder Bill Gates warned that the world could face more one threat besides the COVID-19 pandemic. He wrote about this on his Twitter account.

“COVID-19 will not be the last pandemic threat the world will face. I spoke to the Grand Challenges community about the ambitious innovation program we need to end this crisis and be prepared to respond to the next, ”Gates predicted.

Gates previously said new pandemics could threaten the world in the future, not only for natural reasons, but also because of bioterrorist attackers. The billionaire believes that in order to fight disease, humanity needs to invest in technological development: to make the development and production of vaccines much cheaper and to increase the number of factories that produce them.

In September, the startup Exscientia signed a four-year a contract that can cost up to $ 70 million. It is planned that part of the funds received will go to the creation of new antiviral pills to treat COVID-19 and prevent pandemics in the future.
