A deadly disease could wipe out 30 MILLION people in just six months - Bill Gates warns

World richest man, Bill Gate has warned that a deadly disease that could wipe out 30 MILLION people in just six months could be on its way.

The most highly-regarded figure in the technology industry made this known while speaking at a conference last month.

Gates claimed that the disease could spread in as little as six months, wiping out up to 30 million people in the process. There’s one area where the world isn’t making much progress and that’s pandemic preparedness, he said.

Gates warned that hackers could develop weaponized diseases, and pointed out that a deadly form of smallpox could be created in a lab.

And with travel around the globe now widespread, it wouldn’t be long before such a deadly disease would spread.

At the conference, Gates played a video showing a simulation of how quickly a deadly flu strain could spread.

Worryingly, the simulation suggested that a flu could kill 30 million people in just six months.
