His death was the first attributed to a bird flu virus, and since then, dozens more young children across a number of countries have died from this virus, H5N1. In fact, in the weeks that followed the boy's death, 17 other children in Hong Kong contracted the virus and five more died. It was a tragedy — and a profound shock for the scientists who studied influenza. Until 1997, it was thought avian flu viruses didn't infect p

"I brought some mosquitoes -- we'll let them roam around the auditorium. There's no reason only the poor should experience this," Gates reportedly told shocked TED attendees. Gates then informed attendees that the mosquitoes didn't carry malaria. Gates, who now spends most of his time running The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with his wife Melinda, has made fighting malaria in developing countries one of the main thrusts of the organization's philanthropy efforts. While mosquito nets and other mitigation techniques are important, a mean
