Biden says a second pandemic will come and that the US needs to start preparing for it

• The US needs to get funding to prepare for the next epidemic, according to President Biden.

• The White House wants to allocate $82 billion to plan for future Pandemics

• There is a one-in-two chance of another Pandemic in the next 25 Years.

President Joe Biden warned on Tuesday that the US will eventually face a "second Pandemic" and that the country must prepare for it.

He said at the White House press conference that they need more money to fund the vaccine. Funding for vaccine supplies will last until the end of the year, according to the president.

We need more money for other things as well." He said that more money was needed to plan for the second Pandemic.

There will be another outbreak. We have to think about the future.

The Biden administration would soon announce a renewed "biodefense strategy" to improve America's Pandemic response, according to a report.

Biden wants to allocate $82 billion over five years to prepare for biological threats.

The main goal of the organization is to create an environment where the US can make effective vaccines and treatments for a pathogen within 100 days of its discovery. The money will be used to boost healthcare infrastructure and expand research on potential threats.

The rate of new disease outbreaks among humans has been rising rapidly in the last 50 years.

According to Duke's Global Health Institute, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences predicts that the likelihood of an outbreak will increase by three times in the next few decades.

According to the Center for Global Development, the belief that COVID-19 will be a "once in a lifetime" epidemic is probably not true. Over the next 25 years, researchers from the think tank have predicted a one-in-two chance that another epidemic will be as bad as Covid.

Bill Gates has urged the world to put together a global team of scientists who can watch for epidemics and help countries improve their response.

The 2002's severe acute respiratory syndrome and 2012's Middle East respiratory syndrome are coronaviruses that cause more severe symptoms and have higher death rates.

There are 20 million dead globally, a million in the US, and it could have been a lot worse. Gates said that the death rate per case was close to zero.
