You just published a book, How to Prevent the Next Pandemic. What will the next pandemic be like if we fail to prevent it?
Well, it could be born from a virus that we already know. It could be a variety of flu, another type of coronavirus… And that would at least allow us to have some knowledge about how to get treatments and vaccines very quickly. But it could also be something else. It could be a virus made by man, by a bioterrorist who designed it and intentionally circulated it. That's a very scary scenario because they could try to spread it in different places at once.
Or it could be something that makes the leap from the natural world. The human population is growing and we are invading more and more ecosystems. That is why I calculate that there is a 50% chance that we will have a pandemic of natural origin in the next 20 years, as a consequence of climate change.

If there was a viable alternative to microsoft that would allow me to effortlessly run all my windows targeted programs, I would never use his products again.
I think the odds are much higher than that and in the next 6 months

It’s a safe bet ... historically the world has recorded pandemic each 40 years or so, sometimes shorter interval between pandemics. Pandemic is a common, almost certain event for a normal natural lifetime.
What are the odds that Bill Gate$ will soon merge with the Universe?
He’s preparing for the 2024 elections
Uh huh.
AOC states the world will end in 8 years.
Bill, what are the odds we get a pandemic in 8 years?
Thanks, Nostradumass. Before COVID, the last real pandemic was the 1968 Hong Kong flu (back in the good old days when we were allowed to be diseases after Chinese cities). Before that there was a flu epidemic in 1957-58 and the Spanish Flu at the end of WW I. So 3 in a century = average interval of 33 years. 50% chance of it happening on a shorter interval isn’t exactly a huge prediction.
DROP DEAD GATES!
Gates doesn’t have a spaceship.
Musk does.
NO MORE LOCKDOWNS!
Maybe then Bill will be watching it from a very hot place.,
it doesn’t take a spaceship other than da erf to merge....
But, point well taken...
I’m predicting in 10 years we will have an AIDS pandemic given the injections had a tiny amount of HIV in them
You can pretty much fill in the blank with whatever you want when talking about future events as a 50/50. Either they happen or they dont. No science or magic voodoo required.
There is a 100% chance Gates will be dead in 20 years.
We can only hope its closer to 10 years.
LOL!
Good grief! I barely remember Carson doing that envelope act!
Funny how Gate’s prediction is eerily similar to him having a 50% chance of being alive in 20 years.
Everyone dies eventually, and there is economy of quantity. Seems like a win.
