Bill Gates is one of the most familiar names in the arena of technology. Recently the Microsoft founder has thrown some lights on the probable risks of the pathogen.

Outbreak News Today reported that Bill Gates has attended a conference at the Munich Security Conference in Germany. The topic of the discussion at the conference was "Health Security: Small Bugs, Big Bombs". The business magnate clearly points out some serious factors in the discussion.

 Bill Gates says that it is difficult to eradicate epidemics in the war zones. He gives examples of the rapid spread of Ebola in Sierra, Liberia and the spread of cholera in the Congo Basin and other parts of Africa. To stop these pandemics, it is necessary to uplift the incomes to bring the stability.

He reveals a new threat. Bill Gates utters that epidemic can originate from a computer screen as terrorists can use it to create a synthetic version of the smallpox virus. Even the spread of the deadly flu can become the reality.

Bill Gates opines that the source of the pandemic may be the nature itself or the terrorists, but both of them can produce harmful results. He quotes that pathogen, which originates from the respiratory channel can kill more than 30 million people in a year. The business magnate doesn't hesitate to say that coming days can witness this devastation.

Bill Gates says that very few people can imagine or believe such catastrophe. The truth is, it already happened in the past. The Guardian reported that a specific virulent flu killed more than 50 million people in 1918.

Bill Gates has referred this above-mentioned fact and the name of the flu is "Spanish flu". The Microsoft founder utters that though no such pandemic has occurred after 1918, but that does not mean that it will not occur again. He gives warning that the present socio-economic scenario can enhance the probability of the next pandemic.

He presents the example of Ebola that affected three countries rapidly and doctors checked this disease by diverting the polio resources. The speech of Bill Gates at the conference not only covers the crude fact of the pathogen, but some positive words also shared. With modern biotechnologies, researchers now create new vaccines, drugs that can control the pandemics.

Bill Gates utters that with strong medicine and proper training, people can create a new arsenal to fight against the pathogen. It is the need of the hour to control the airborne pathogen. Truly, the people of the world should be more conscious of fighting and eradicate all kinds of fatal diseases.
