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.
