Bill Gates had previously predicted this pandemic would occur, and is now reminding his fans that there is more danger in store if we don't take swift action, and adapt to new lifestyle changes in advance. He was happy to chat with fans about his take on climate change, and was profoundly passionate about ensuring the younger generation pay close attention to this matter so they can be part of the movement towards change.

When speaking of climate change, he revealed that he eats synthetic meat to make a difference. He advises that eating synthetic meat and forcing a change in the market would be a monumental step forward. This was one of his top pieces of advice to ensure that our current population remains on top of climate change concerns and actively seeks a shift. News 18 quoted him as saying; "I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef... you can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.” This is one of the methods he suggests we foster to reduce methane emissions, and the world is listening.

On the topic of COVID-19, he revealed that The Bill Gates Foundation is donating millions and putting forth great efforts in ensuring that therapeutics and vaccines are being produced and prioritized properly, to ensure that all countries receive the care they need to overcome this pandemic.

He is also focused on increasing education efforts and putting the focus on manufacturing to ensure that all aspects of the vaccine, respirators, and other required resources are readily available.

He cautions that he predicts we will see other pandemics in our lifetime, and mastering the art of managing this one will help towards building greater future resiliancy.
