Bill Gates
Bill Gates says, "This is like earthquakes, you should think in order of
magnitudes. If you can kill 10 people that's a 1, 100 people that's a
two... Bioterrorism is the thing that can give you not just sixes, but
sevens, eights, and nines.
With nuclear war, once you have got a six, or a seven, or eight, you'd
think it would probably stop. With bioterrorism it's just unbounded if
you are not there to stop the spread of it."
