比尔·盖茨确认新冠阳性！他曾发视频说：做到这3件事，人类才能预防下一次大流行病！（附视频&演讲稿）
5月11日，比尔盖茨在个人微博发布消息：我确诊了新冠病毒阳性。我正经历轻微症状，并且听从专家建议进行隔离直至康复。我很幸运接种了疫苗和加强针，能够获得检测和优质的医疗服务。
今天是盖茨基金会的同事两年以来第一次相聚，我也很幸运能在Teams上看到每个人并且感谢他们的辛勤工作。我们将继续与伙伴合作，尽自己所能确保我们都不必再次应付一场大流行。
比尔·盖茨在他的新书《如何预防下一次大流行》中提出了将感染扼杀在萌芽状态的建议。盖茨提议创建一个由分布在世界各地的3000名专家组成的全球“应急团队”，根据流行病学和遗传学、药物和疫苗开发、计算机建模甚至外交等不同领域的技能进行招聘。
这个团队，很可能在世界卫生组织的主持下工作，将保持永久的准备状态，随时准备应对发现的任何疫情。盖茨建议这个团队原则上被称为“全球流行病应对和动员团队”（Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization Team ，简称GERM），盖茨估计，GERM团队每年将耗资约10亿美元，它将被用于加强全球基础设施以抗击大流行。外交手段将发挥推动政府同意检测、监测和抑制潜在爆发的支出，并加强演习的作用。
在盖茨这一次确诊新冠的前几天，他还在自己的油管频道发布了一个《做到这三件事情，人类就能预防下一次大流行病》的视频，一起来听听他是怎么说的？到底是那三件事？
Given all that we've been through, it may seem surprising that I'm optimistic that we can prevent the next pandemic.
Here are the three areas where we have to invest.
First, we need to make and deliver, much better tools. Diagnostics are very important. Drugs that help you avoid getting seriously sick or dying. And finally, enough vaccines for the entire world within six months of identifying the threat.
Second, we need this global team. I call it the GERM team, the Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization team. Stopping pandemics is what they're all about.
Finally, we need to invest in health systems. A lot of these health systems in the poor countries are not very strong today. If we invest in them, we can improve the health in those countries every year. But we can also make sure they’re capable of doing the disease surveillance.
We need to be able to see outbreaks at their earliest stage. If we do these things now, we'll have a world that's prepared and can prevent pandemics.

If we make the right investments, we won’t need to live
in fear of another COVID.
We can build a health system that is ready to stop outbreaks before they go global.
Here is how it should work.
Epidemiologists will detect suspicious clusters of a disease that could cause a pandemic.
A global team of 3,000 disease experts managed by the WHO, called the GERM team, will track the disease and share data and recommendations with governments.
Governments and pharmaceutical companies will work together to use factories all over the world to get unprecedented scale of diagnostics and vaccines very quickly.
We'll have an agreed protocol and we'll understand how to share the results globally.
Countries and the WHO will work in the best way to allocate these tools and to make sure that we have the logistics and delivery to get them to everyone who needs them.
The key to be ready for a potential pandemic is to practice.
This GERM team will work with each country to do GERM games, drills, where you see, are you ready, could you get the diagnostics out so we're ready to go when we see the outbreak.
Diseases are always going to spread among humans, but they don't have to become pandemics.
You can read more about this in my new book, How to Prevent the Next Pandemic.
