Bill Gates has warned of an impending pandemic for years.
Here's how he's dealing with the coronavirus outbreak.For years, Bill Gates has warned the world of an impending severe pandemic.
In a 2015 TED Talk, Gates said that "we're not ready for the next epidemic." In 2017, Gates wrote in an op-ed article for Business Insider that the next epidemic could be "a super contagious and deadly strain of the flu."
Gates has called the coronavirus a "once-in-a-century pathogen," and his charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has committed $100 million to fight the outbreak.
As of Wednesday, there were more than 205,000 coronavirus cases in more than 150 countries.
