Coronavirus: Bill Gates forecast: when and how it will return to normal

For over a year, the world has been united under the same question: When will the coronavirus pandemic see the beginning of the end? Philanthropic business man Bill Gates claims to have the answer. According to the estimates of the founder of Microsoft, the level of infections would be reduced to a very small number by the end of 2022, when Covid-19 vaccines are at higher levels of availability.

According to his forecast, Gates assured that in the coming months, developed countries will start recording an excess of vaccines, which will lead them to be intended for others in need. “For the remainder of the year, the United States, United Kingdom and other countries will be able to ensure that vaccines are sent to developing countries,” said in dialogue with the British channel Sky News.

“Since many vaccines have worked, we will be able to supply other people,” he explained, stressing: “Places where anyone over the age of 60 needs to be vaccinated, such as South Africa or Brazil, will become a priority in the next three or four months, when the United States takes that surplus position to take these resources. active and raise the level. vaccinations as soon as possible ”.

Gates stressed that the world is not sufficiently prepared to face a situation like this, and said: “I hope we will keep in mind that if we are to invest to be prepared for the next pandemic . “

Asked about the imbalance in access to vaccines between major powers and developing countries, Gates said that it does not seem fair to him that in some countries they vaccinate young people in their thirties when there are not enough doses for people in their sixties in Brazil and South Africa. “In three or four months, the vaccine allocation will reach all countries with a very serious epidemic,” he said.

“We will not have eradicated the virus, but we will reduce it to very small numbers by the end of 2022,” said Gates, envisioning a massive global vaccination campaign.

Bill Gates’ thoughts on the progress of the coronavirus drew special attention after a chilling prediction by Bill Gates of the pandemic was relaunched in 2015. In a Ted talk in Vancouver, the Microsoft founder was able to detail that the next great threat to humanity would not be war but a pandemic.
