Business magnate, philanthropist, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had warned the world about the pandemic back in 2015, and now he wants us mortal humans to know what crisis could be knocking at our doors shortly, Yahoo reports.
He recently chatted up with Derek Muller, who runs the popular YouTube channel "Veritasium," over a video call and said he doesn't feel any good about his prophecy.
Muller then asks Gates how he was so sure about something like a pandemic half a decade ago.
"There are several respiratory viruses, and from time to time, one will come along. Respiratory diseases are very scary because you're still walking around on a plane, a bus when you're infectious. Unlike some other diseases like ebola where you are mostly in a hospital bed by the time viral load infects other people," Gates responds.
Muller then enquires about Gates to shed light on the next disaster that humans are not prepared for.
"One is climate change. Every year that would be a death toll even greater than we have had in this pandemic," Gates responds before adding the second crisis that he feels people don't like to talk about.
"Bio-terrorism. Somebody who wants to cause damage could engineer a virus and that means the cost, the chance of running into this is more than the naturally-caused epidemics like the current one," he said.
