Published 'How to Prevent the Next Pandemic' — a blueprint for global preparedness
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
Gates published a follow-up to his 2015 pandemic warning, outlining a concrete plan for global pandemic preparedness including a permanent international outbreak response team, disease surveillance networks with near-real-time detection, and standing vaccine manufacturing capacity. He estimated the full plan would cost approximately $1 billion per year — describing it as the cheapest insurance policy humanity could buy given the trillions of dollars in economic damage caused by COVID-19.

Gates keeps a collection of rare and classic cars
Despite his reputation for frugality in some areas, Bill Gates has long indulged a passion for cars, assembling a collection that has included several Porsches — among them the 911 he has owned for decades and the storied 959 — as well as other classics. His automotive tastes, and the saga of importing the then-illegal 959, are among the more colorful footnotes of his personal life.

Gates retreats for solitary, twice-yearly 'Think Weeks'
For years Bill Gates retreated twice a year to a secluded cabin for a solitary 'Think Week,' during which he read stacks of papers, books, and employee proposals with no interruptions, emerging with strategic memos that shaped Microsoft's direction. The ritual became famous as a model of deep, focused thinking by a busy executive, and was credited with helping spark major pivots — including Microsoft's embrace of the internet. Gates carried the habit of voracious, deliberate reading into his philanthropy.
