Gates also said, 'Overall, when I predicted in 2015, I had predicted a higher death toll. In such a situation, the virus can be more deadly than now. We have not seen a bad phase yet. But the thing that has shocked me is that the economic impact in the US and around the world is much higher than my forecasts. ' Gates said his foundation is funding a lot of research for vaccines.
