Bill Gates He is known worldwide for having been a co-founder of Microsoft. Currently, he is dedicated to philanthropy, studies and science, so he is an important voice when it comes to forecasts, especially if he mentions the word pandemic.
We come from the worst part of the global crisis caused by the coronavirus COVID-19 and its variants and there is already talk that in a few years we could experience another pandemic with similar characteristics due to a new virus, called SEERS.
As you recall the report published on the website of Chronicler, Gates was part of Event 201, a working group that analyzed possible scenarios for global catastrophes. He himself did a coronavirus pandemic drill in October 2019, organized by the John Hopkins University Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Interestingly, the trial was carried out two months before the coronavirus pandemic that causes the COVID-19 disease was recognized, which led Bill Gates to receive criticism and even created conspiracy theories, especially since the scenario that Event 201 handled it was theoretical and, suddenly, everything happened.
Now, in October of this year, A new simulation called Catastrophic Contagion: Pandemics was conducted by Grand Challenges in Brussels, Belgium. There, the SEERS was raised.
What is SEERS?
In this year’s exercise, experts simulated a series of meetings of the World Health Organization (WHO) health emergency advisory council. in which another pandemic was addressed by 2025 generated by the Severe Epidemic Enterovirus Respiratory Syndrome 2025, SEERS.
In the session, led by Bill Gates, health specialists from Senegal, Rwanda, Angola, Liberia, Nigeria, India, Singapore and Germany, who sought answers on how to respond to an epidemic located in one part of the world.
Like COVID-19, this disease would spread rapidly, becoming a pandemic with a fatality rate higher than that of COVID-19 and disproportionately affecting children and youth. According to study estimates, 20 million people would die of which 15 million would be children.
Let’s hope Gates and company’s forecast doesn’t come true.
