How To Prevent The Next Pandemic by Bill Gates

BATB score: 6/10 😷

extremely heavy deep dive analysis on the pandemic that has happened and any future pandemic to happen 😴 definitely too heavy for the general public’s brains

Best for: policy makers, WHO personnels, NGO leaders, ministry of health managers, and Bill Gates’ mega rich friends who are so influential that they can make a difference in this world

Best to: Bill Gates to do an 18-minutes TedTalk on the content of this book instead to better appeal to the general public - please simplify further

Best as: the only thing that each of us can do is to elect leaders who will take pandemics seriously and make good, science-based decisions when the time comes; and avoid the misinformation and disinformation that flood social media - thank you the end

Best quotes: “I’ve decided that the best way forward is to just keep doing the work and believe that the truth will outlive the lies.”

“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.”
