Bill Gates Inaccurately Predicted the Coronavirus

Roger Federer mentioned the $100 million donations Bill Gates made towards eradicating the coronavirus. He made this donation after predicting in 2018 that a new disease similar to SARS would potentially kill 30 million people. This was because the influential philanthropist knew of the laboratory environments used by China to harvest deadlier forms of Smallpox and SARS. However, Gates presumed the disease would follow six months after his April 2018 prediction. He also inaccurately predicted the death of 30 million people, with this virus having already been primarily contained on the global stage.
