When world will ‘be back to normal’ from COVID pandemic — Bill Gates

Bill Gates has predicted that the world will be “completely back
to normal” by the end of 2022, overcoming the COVID-19
pandemic.

Stressing that the pandemic has been an “incredible tragedy”,
the Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist has heightened hopes
that the virus could be brought to bay across the world in less
than two years.

“By the end of 2022 we should be basically completely back to
normal,” Gates told Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza and television
broadcaster TVN24.

He added that the only good news during these stressful times
was the access to coronavirus vaccines.

Gates’ comments came weeks after he noted in an interview on the
social media app Clubhouse that he supposed that people could
consider changing their behaviour “in a significant way” in the
spring or summer of 2021.

Gates, a billionaire who stepped down as chairman of Microsoft
Corp. in 2014, has, through his philanthropic Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation, committed at least $1.75 billion to the global
response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

That includes support for some makers of vaccines, diagnostics,
and potential treatments.

The COVAX facility, backed by the World Health Organisation
(WHO) and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI),
aims to secure 2 billion vaccine doses for lower-income countries
by the end of 2021.

Although Gates is one of the leading public figures in the fight
against the coronavirus pandemic, he has also been a target of many
conspiracy theories.

Several theories linking the Microsoft co-founder to coronavirus
have flooded social media ever since the pandemic broke, including
a bizarre one that states COVID-19 is a cover so he can plant
microchips in people to control them.
