Reading now: 240
Bill Gates has warned of the next two disasters facing the planet after previously predicting the outbreak of devastating virus.
The Microsoft founder said during a Ted Talk in 2015 that an epidemic would involve a virus "where people feel well enough while they’re infectious that they get on a plane or they go to a market".
But Mr Gates, now 65, warned that the world wouldn't be prepared for the next epidemic during his talk, which came five years before the coronavirus pandemic which has now killed 2.3 million people globally.
Now almost six years on, the tech pioneer has said he believes the greatest threats to humanity in the coming years are climate change and bioterrorism, the Daily Star reports.
