預防下一場疫病大流行發生成為各國重要議題。Bill Gates以世界級專家的知識與蓋茲基金會對抗重大疾病的經驗為基礎，深入淺出解析傳染病，並提出國與國之間，政府與民間單位聯手合作，不只能阻擋下一場疫病，更有機會消滅所有呼吸道相關疾病。A new book by Bill Gates that lays out a clear plan to prevent future pandemics The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one. Given the worldwide success of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster (which debuted at #1 on the New York Times best seller list), Gates is more respected than ever for his approach to solving the world's biggest challenges.
