The whole world is under the attack of Coronavirus, Coronavirus has spread to 146 countries and it continues to attack more countries. In less than two months Coronavirus has destroyed the economy of various countries on which top of the list is China. According to Bill Gates, Coronavirus spread so fast in World is because of the reason that the world spent much less amount on health than on war. 

Bill Gates needs no introduction everyone knew about him very well. He was the richest person in the World for several years, and now he is the third richest man in the World. In 2015, Bill Gates gave a TED talk named "The Next Outbreak? We are not ready", in which he warned that the world is not ready to fight an epidemic because it is too busy fighting against each other.

Gates said,
If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it's most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war
 which sounds a lot like the current pandemic of Coronavirus. 

Bill Gates started the talk with words "Today the greatest risk of Global Catastrophe doesn't look like this", then he showed a picture of a bomb explosion. He further said "Instead it looks like this" and then he showed a picture of a virus.
He told the reason why the world is at danger to get attacked by the epidemic.
 We had invested a huge amount into nuclear deterrents, we have invested very little in a system to stop an epidemic.
When one listens to talk of Bill Gates' talk it seems like he was talking about the current situation. Coronavirus is declared a global pandemic by WHO, no one knows what to do, How to tackle the situation and all of this because World is too busy making nuclear weapons. If we would have taken his word seriously, we could have save many lives.

Bill Gates wrote a post on his blog after the spread of coronavirus which says "COVID-19 has started to behave a lot like the once in a century pathogen we've been worried about." 
And he requested the government to take critical action.
