The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over but even as governments around the world strive to put it
behind us they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent a new
pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope
to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes and in this book he lays out
clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us
can do to ward off another disaster like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world's
foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates
Foundation he first makes us understand the science of corona diseases. Then he helps us
understand how the nations of the world working in conjunction with one another and with the
private sector can not only ward off another COVID-like catastrophe but also go far to
eliminate all respiratory diseases including the flu. Here is a clarion call - strong
comprehensive and of the gravest importance - from one of our greatest and most effective
thinkers and activists.
