Bill Gates, in his TEDtalk, pointed out that virus infection will possibly cause millions of death instead of physical threat like nuclear weapon in the future. The problem is, there are far more investment on nuclear prevention but we are lack of system to prevent epidemic.
A particular example of lack of system was Ebola outbreak sometimes ago. Initially, there was no stand-by group of epidemiologists to examine spread of the disease and the absence of medical staff. Bill identified three reasons why ebola did not expand to a larger area, it was because the ultimately great job done by number of health workers, the virus does not spread thorough the air, and it was only concentrated in rural areas. However, he warned that there may be more and more threatening virus in the future that people should worry about.
Therefore, Bill proposed a solution to integrate all instruments into one global health system such as to take advance the use of technologies, mobile phones, and sciences. For example, he hope that new drugs and vaccines will be discovered by scientists. However, He doubt about how much the expense to carry out the initiatives, but he fairly convinced that the cost is very low compared to the potential harm caused by epidemic.
