Bill Gates' prediction of what will happen to the world after a pandemic

It’s been a year since humanity learned about the coronavirus. Perhaps few people could have imagined what problems this would lead to, and what way of life would lead us. But curiously, Bill Gates, a billionaire, predicted something like this a couple of years ago. It is more interesting to hear his opinion on what will happen. pandemic And if we can live like we used to.



After Bill Gates stepped down from Microsoft, he had more free time. Therefore, he became even more active in charity, as well as giving various interviews. In a speech in 2015, he predicted that the world would face a pandemic. As you can see, he was right.



Recently, Bill Gates gave a large interview, where he spoke not only about the prospects of developing vaccines, but also tried to look into the future. One of the loudest was the statement that the coronavirus will not disappear forever from our lives. From time to time there will be outbreaks of the disease. Therefore, it is important that every region has access to the vaccine.

The legendary entrepreneur drew attention to how easily we were able to adapt to the virtual space. This is not just about remote work. The American suggested that soon we will be able to remotely visit higher education institutions and online consult with doctors. This will not be the exception, but rather the norm.

He suggested that the pandemic would change. housing. After all, having remote work, people will not buy at all costs housing closer to the boring office. As a result, many will leave the city centers and move to quieter and quieter areas. And some will move away from the city bustle.



“Without being tied to an office, you’re likely to want to change your life in an expensive and noisy neighborhood, such as your own country house or settle in a small town,” he says.

What will happen to the offices? The billionaire is confident that the demand for such premises will fall, because companies will need them less. This will affect prices. It is quite possible that some companies can combine and rent one office, but use it at different times, in turn.



Bill Gates is also convinced that the pandemic has taught humanity a lot. As a result, future trials (such as a new pandemic) will no longer be able to do so much harm, because people will be ready. They will be able to deal with any danger more effectively.

“Our testing tools will become more sophisticated. We won’t be as stupid as when we first faced a pandemic, Gates said.



GettyImages seems to be right. The world after a pandemic will be different. How do you see this future? Will the world really change beyond recognition? Or will the changes be minimal? Write in the comments.
