Bill Gates writes that he is worried we are making the same mistakes again.
By Bill Gates | For The New York TimesImagine there’s a small fire in your kitchen. Your fire alarm goes off, warning everyone nearby about the danger. Someone calls 911. You try to put the fire out yourself — maybe you even have a fire extinguisher under the sink. If that doesn’t work, you know how to safely evacuate. By the time you get outside, a fire truck is already pulling up.
I’m optimistic about a network that the WHO and its partners are building called the Global Health Emergency Corps. This network of the world’s top health emergency leaders will work together to get ready for the next pandemic. Just as firefighters run drills to practice responding to a fire, the Emergency Corps plans to run drills to practice for outbreaks.
To be successful, the Emergency Corps must build on existing networks of experts and be led by people like the heads of national public health agencies and their leads for epidemic response. It’s difficult for any one country to stop a disease from spreading on its own; many of the most meaningful actions require coordination from the highest levels of government. The world needs to prepare for a multiple-alarm fire, the type of fire response that requires different units and departments.
