About This Book
The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another 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 he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one.

Reviews
"Passionate but never preachy, Gates delivers an expert, well-reasoned, and robust appeal for the world to unite in averting upcoming pandemics."
"Both are formidably informative reads."
"Utilizing his prodigious ability to analyze and synthesize data, Gates lays out a comprehensive, idealized plan to try and prepare every level of society to deal with widespread illness ..."
"But if this book stimulates even a little limit-pushing of the sort Mr Gates suggests, it will have served its purpose well."
"Gates offers a persuasive, 30,000-foot view of a global problem that, he insists, can be prevented given will and money."
"Gates is realistic about what he's up against, but he does a good job of making GERM's $1 billion price tag seem reasonable, framing it as 'less than one-one-thousandth of the world's annual spending on defense.' The result is an intriguing proposal to blunt future pandemics."
