Summary
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。

Great book。 Its nice to see some billionaires using their money to do some good rather than making spaceship to mars。

I have now finished the second book by Bill Gates on the theme of global crisis management。 Bill Gates makes sense and lays out a plausibly robust plan for preventing future pandemics。 Although being a tech professional， his inclination to read widely has given him an excellent edge to influence the global healthcare scenario in an informed manner。 There is an element of narration of events that went by during this pandemic。 To be honest， I wanted to read a book on a global COVID-19 scenario tha I have now finished the second book by Bill Gates on the theme of global crisis management。 Bill Gates makes sense and lays out a plausibly robust plan for preventing future pandemics。 Although being a tech professional， his inclination to read widely has given him an excellent edge to influence the global healthcare scenario in an informed manner。 There is an element of narration of events that went by during this pandemic。 To be honest， I wanted to read a book on a global COVID-19 scenario that has no unnecessary and irrelevant mud-slinging。 Unfortunately， Fareed Zakaria's book on 10 lessons from COVID-19 felt like one with a lot of diatribes。 Bill Gates's book is far better， realistic， and relevant than that of Fareed Zakaria。 Probably， Fareed Zakaria （with totally warm regards towards him） could not discern what mattered more for curbing the pandemic， as an outside observer。 In contrast， Bill Gates， as an important influencer， has hit the bull's eye in every possible way in his narration of how the pandemic dictated over the world for a good two years and gives a rock-solid plan on what needs to be done against such planetary-level biological and existential threats。 It is a must-read to understand what needs to be done for ensuring the existence of the human species and the sustenance of this planet。 As far as I have read， no one else does it better than Bill Gates。 。。。more

The saying "It's common sense but this does not mean that common sense is common practice" goes well for this book。 Having read number of books about Covid， the 1918 Influenza pandemic and also following the high level news since current pandemic started there isn't much completely new information here but it serves as a good reminder and summary。 Most of it is about prioritization and processes and less about technical innovation which we cannot enforce anyway。 In a sense it's like Neil Degrass The saying "It's common sense but this does not mean that common sense is common practice" goes well for this book。 Having read number of books about Covid， the 1918 Influenza pandemic and also following the high level news since current pandemic started there isn't much completely new information here but it serves as a good reminder and summary。 Most of it is about prioritization and processes and less about technical innovation which we cannot enforce anyway。 In a sense it's like Neil Degrasse Tyson's "Astrophysics for people in a hurry"。“It’s mind-blowing how cheap and effective masks are。This is a little hard to admit， because the power of inventing things is so central to my worldview， but it’s true: We may never devise a cheaper， more effective way to block the transmission of certain respiratory viruses than a piece of inexpensive material with a couple of elastic straps sewn onto it。”“When you start reading up on infectious diseases， it isn’t long before you come to the subject of outbreaks， epidemics， and pandemics。 The definitions for these terms are less strict than you may think。 A good rule of thumb is that an outbreak is when a disease spikes in a local area， an epidemic is when an outbreak spreads more broadly within a country or region， and a pandemic is when an epidemic goes global， affecting more than one continent。 And some diseases don’t come and go， but stay consistently in a specific location—those are known as endemic diseases。 Malaria， for instance， is endemic to many equatorial regions。 If COVID-19 never goes away completely， it’ll be classified as an endemic disease。”“The pandemic also exposed one of the biggest myths about remote education—that it could ever replace classroom work for kids in the early grades。 I’m a big fan of online learning， but I have always thought of it as a supplement to， not a substitute for， the work that young students and teachers do together in person。"“And the odds that a pandemic will strike are only going up。 That’s partly because， with urbanization， humans are invading natural habitats at a growing rate， interacting with animals more often， and creating more opportunities for a disease to jump from them to us。 It’s also because international travel is skyrocketing （or at least it was before COVID slowed its growth）: In 2019， before COVID， tourists around the world made 1。4 billion international arrivals every year—up from just 25 million in 1950。 The fact that the world had gone a century since a catastrophic pandemic—the most recent one， the flu of 1918， killed something like 50 million people—is largely a matter of luck。” 。。。more

While this book is cute， Gates is coming from an incredibly privileged standpoint。 What was his motivation in writing this book？ To inspire our youth to take care of what our elders couldn't？ To take care of what rich billionaires cannot solve with their billions， and yet perceive to be able to solve the problem by writing a book on which you can make more millions ？It's said that there are no ethical billionaires， and I standby this。 While Gates maybe has done more than the other evil billionai While this book is cute， Gates is coming from an incredibly privileged standpoint。 What was his motivation in writing this book？ To inspire our youth to take care of what our elders couldn't？ To take care of what rich billionaires cannot solve with their billions， and yet perceive to be able to solve the problem by writing a book on which you can make more millions ？It's said that there are no ethical billionaires， and I standby this。 While Gates maybe has done more than the other evil billionaires out there， doing this small effort should not be enough to absolve his white man billionaire guilt。 To be fair， I actually really enjoyed a lot of the content in this novel。 But the bottom line is that we have to wonder Gates had motivation on the subject to begin with。 He's not doing everything he can for sure pandemics， or for global warming。 He lives in custom made houses worth millions，while writing this novel to absolve his guilt。 。。。more

I may dislike Bill Gates very much， perhaps partly out of envy， but I think he has tried to do some good philanthropic work in recent years。 This book is good because it brings a fairly close history of the effort that humanity has made to invent and produce vaccines against COVID， and the many efforts that can be made to eradicate many diseases。 Perhaps the whole issue is seen from an economic point of view rather than a human one。 But the "technocratic" point of view is much more effective tha I may dislike Bill Gates very much， perhaps partly out of envy， but I think he has tried to do some good philanthropic work in recent years。 This book is good because it brings a fairly close history of the effort that humanity has made to invent and produce vaccines against COVID， and the many efforts that can be made to eradicate many diseases。 Perhaps the whole issue is seen from an economic point of view rather than a human one。 But the "technocratic" point of view is much more effective than the scapular that our president of Mexico used as protection。 There is much to be done to prevent or fight the next pandemic， which is sure to come。 。。。more

I liked this book。 I see there are a number of negative reviews already posted and I get the impression at least some of them come from people who just don't like Bill Gates。 I thought the book was well researched and was clear in its point of view that we need to be taking steps now to prevent and， if necessary， better respond to future pandemics。 It makes the case that richer nations investing in public health in poorer nations benefits all of us。 While I agree with the basic premises of this I liked this book。 I see there are a number of negative reviews already posted and I get the impression at least some of them come from people who just don't like Bill Gates。 I thought the book was well researched and was clear in its point of view that we need to be taking steps now to prevent and， if necessary， better respond to future pandemics。 It makes the case that richer nations investing in public health in poorer nations benefits all of us。 While I agree with the basic premises of this book， I think much of what the author envisions will be very difficult to achieve。 Getting governments to cooperate on anything is difficult and imagining a world where governments not only cooperate but share costs and information seems unrealistic。 Expecting people to encourage their governments to spend on countries that cannot afford to pay goes counter to what the current political environment would allow。 Still， if we could accomplish any portion of what Mr。 Gates recommends， we would be miles ahead of where we are now。 。。。more

and picked it up as soon as it was available at the library。 First of all， very confused by the plethora of negative reviews objecting to Gates’ lack of commitment to healthcare in the developing world， when the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest charity （by a huge margin） in the United States， and its main focus is lifting people out of poverty and fighting infectious diseases in poor countries。 It was also really weird to me how many reviews for this book are written by people who haven’t read the book。 Anyway， here's what I thought of the book， which I read， and which I’m now here to review， because that’s what this page is for。 Bill Gates has been predicting a pandemic for several years， and he also warns after seeing this one， that they’re just going to become more frequent。 There have been about 200 outbreaks of infectious disease annually for a long time， and it was just a waiting game until one became a pandemic。 The main point of this book is to show that the world was definitely not prepared for COVID， even though we should have been because of all the suggestive data that something like this was coming。 More importantly， we can now learn from these lessons to prevent the next （increasingly probable due to deforestation， climate change etc。） pandemic from causing as much harm。 One of the main suggestions is the formation of a Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization （GERM） team， a roughly 3000 person team with $1 billion in annual funding。 He thinks we could position ourselves to develop vaccines for any new diseases in 6 months， now that we’ve made so much progress on mRNA vaccines。 He advocates for several things that seemed pretty common sense: ventilation， masks， and if children aren’t vulnerable to serious effects to prevent school closures， especially for students already at risk of falling behind。 Lockdowns are an effective measure， but not clear if it’s worth the economic cost in poor countries。 He makes the interesting point that the irony of protective measures is that the better they work， the easier it is to criticize them as an overreaction。Importantly， he emphasizes that improving global health will go a long way towards preventing pandemics。 And the first goal is something we’ve （almost） all agreed is a good thing anyway， given gaping global inequity。 He advocates for governments establishing working relationships with infectious disease experts in both the public and private sector。 He reiterates that we need a fast vaccine pipeline in place， hopefully for more universal vaccines that could prevent a range of infectious diseases。 I learned from this book that the world currently manufactures about 6 billion vaccines a year， less than one per person， and I think the case for scaling that up a lot is really good given the likelihood of another pandemic。 He alarms readers with the very good point that novel pathogens are now really easy to make with very minimal tech， and would make devastating bioweapons。 He presented some figures I found surprising， like only 7。5% of healthcare facilities in developing countries have functional oxygen supplementation equipment， which helped me understand how much harder the pandemic was on those countries， and also drove home his point about global health being on the same track as pandemic prevention because oxygen supplementation will also serve basic functions like improving maternal survival during childbirth。 I learned that only a third of middle-income economies are expected to recover to pre-pandemic levels in 2022， while all rich countries are expected to。 I hadn’t realized that before， and it made me feel alarmed that this gap will just grow and grow if another pandemic arises， and we’re equally unprepared。 Aside from the humanitarian perspective， global inequity and unrest is really bad for everyone （e。g new variants of COVID arising in poor countries with low vaccination rates， global food prices soaring from the war in Ukraine etc。）。 I feel that Gates could have done more to emphasize that， rather than focus so much on the humanitarian perspective。 I didn’t like the book as much as his previous one on climate change largely because I feel like I learned a lot less while reading this book。 My favorite thing about the climate change book was the dual point of presenting fascinating stats about a problem that affects all of us in a really accessible way， coupled with explorations of really cool new technologies that might help us solve it。 I got less of both from this book。 I would have loved to see a deeper exploration of the universal vaccine idea， for example。 How feasible is this idea and how would it work？ How close are we to developing one， and how would it adapt with mutating viruses？ Are we on track to cure the common cold for real？ Similarly， I’d love a deep dive into the potential for mRNA vaccine technology， because it can be used for so much more than fighting viral infections！ We could use them to target almost any pathogen， help our immune system to recognize cancer cells （personalized to a person’s tumor）， but also to replace dysfunctional proteins in all kinds of diseases like congenital blindness， type 1 diabetes etc。 Overall， I agree with message of the book that we need to put a response system in place now， internationally， so we can head off the next outbreak before it becomes a pandemic or at least handle it better than this one。 I didn’t learn much from this book though， because most of the info contained in it was common sense or I had read about it before。 It was more warning than educational。 I also thought it was weird that he left out the habitat destruction leading to increased zoonotic transfer angle out of the book completely。 Overall， I admire Bill Gates’ engagement and think his foundation is doing really cool work， and am confused why he’s attracted so much negative crackpot attention， but thought this book didn’t add much to my life。 。。。more

Really interesting book。 I think his plan is brilliant， unfortunately， our governments （not just the US） are really broken right now。 So I think it will be hard to get his plans implemented。 I think he has a great plan though。 I love his information on the origin of mRNA which is the basis of several COVID-19 vaccines。 I love the work his foundation is doing to improve world health。 Excellent book！

Excellent suggestions from a global leader in health with decades of experience。 The US could easily fund the GERM team。 Hopefully it can be implemented。

Very glad a book on the importance of preparing for the next pandemic is being written for a general audience， but I think this one falls short- a strong bias on the work of gates and adjacent partners- some seemingly large blind spots in his work e。g on zoonotic transmission- not terribly well structured or organised; tends to jump around chaotically leaving points un-fleshed out
