Notes
epidemic 伝染病の大流行;
—————————-
In 2015, Bill Gates gave a TED talk just after the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. He was talking about the danger of new diseases. He said that viruses are probably more dangerous than war. We have special forces to fight wars, but we are not prepared for an epidemic. The world needs a large group of doctors and other medical professionals to stop epidemics. If a new virus spreads through the air like influenza, it can kill millions of people. Now we have Covid-19 which has spread all over the world and killed more than 280,000 people. He was right. We weren’t ready. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
