People all over the world are panicking and buying fast because of the Covid-19 epidemic. Food, toilet paper, etc. are accumulating in the house for fear of possible shortages.Food is already stored in Bill Gates basement in anticipation of the epidemic .But years before the outbreak, Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda Gates, began storing food in their basement. This has been reported in the CNBC report.
Melinda Gates said to BBC Radio Live on Thursday, "We talked about this kind of thing a couple of years ago. If there's no clean water to drink. If not enough food? What do we do as a family? I thought we had to prepare ourselves for it. We were ready. We left some food in the basement for use when needed. Now we're all in that situation."
Melinda Gates said, "They couldn't prepare for certain drugs or vaccines, because there was no equipment for the Covid-19. It's a disease that we all suffer from."
Of course, Melinda Gates also recognized the special advantages of her family. He says, 'One of the things we talk about most of the time in our house every night is how lucky we are. We understand the special advantages we have. When we speak of our grace at night, we are grateful for the food on the table that we are not struggling for, like many families around the world. '
Bill Gates warned of a possible pandemic in a blog post around 2010.
"The world needs to be prepared for epidemics as seriously as war," said Bill Gates at an event hosted by the Massachusetts Medical Society and the New England Journal of Medicine in April 2018.
Bill Gates, who grew up in the Civil War, had been preparing for the war from an early age. A barrel in the basement of his family had already been filled with canned food and water.
Bill Gates said to Tedt in 2015, "When I was a kid, we were afraid of the devastation of the nuclear war. If there was a nuclear attack, we would go down the stairs and eat the barrel. But now the world is in dire danger. It's like a virus is spreading."
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged more than $25 million worldwide to help provide relief to Covid-19.
