Governments, businesses, and individuals around the world are thinking about what happens after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relying on the shared knowledge of the world’s foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, Gates first helps us understand the science of infectious diseases. Then he shows us how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, how we can prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy.

Here is a clarion call—strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance.
