News. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, says it is possible to return to normal by the end of 2022 when the number of coronavirus cases can be greatly reduced. The American philanthropist also warned that preparing for future pandemics should become an “absolute priority.”
Billionaire Bill Gates says a return to normalcy could be possible by the end of 2022, as vaccines against the new coronavirus become more available.
Gates said a large number of vaccinated people in developed countries, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, is helping to release doses to be available to other states, writes Sky News
Bill Gates also says that the COVID-19 pandemic will be completely combated by next year, but he hopes that the number of infected people will be reduced to a “very small” one by the end of 2022.
“There are still some questions about how widely the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be used, if accepted, it would be very beneficial, but some of the rich countries, including the US and the UK, will reach high levels even this summer. vaccination and this will allow vaccines to be received worldwide at the end of 2021 and until 2022 and thus, we will not have eradicated this disease, but we will be able to reduce it to a very small number by the end of 2022 “, he said. said Bill Gates, according to the source quoted above.
The American philanthropist mentioned that there is an imbalance worldwide. While the vaccination campaign is quite advanced in developed countries, there are states where the epidemic is quite severe and where vaccines will only be able to reach in three to four months.
“The fact that we are now vaccinating young people under 30 in the UK and the US and we don’t have all those over 60 in Brazil and South Africa vaccinated is not correct, but within three or four months, the vaccines will reach all countries that have a very severe epidemic, “said Bill Gates.
In the same interview, Bill Gates said that preparing for future pandemics should be an “absolute priority”, stressing that he is worried that the current pandemic will be forgotten, as happened in the case of the Ebola pandemic.
