Coronavirus Will End In Many Countries In 2021: Bill Gates

Microsoft founder and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates is hopeful that a vaccine for COVID will be developed soon and the coronavirus will end “for the world at large by the end of 2022,” reported livemint.

“You have to admit there’s been trillions of dollars of economic damage done and a lot of debts, but the innovation pipeline on scaling up diagnostics, on new therapeutics, on vaccines is actually quite impressive,” he said in an interview to Wired.

“And that makes me feel like, for the rich world, we should largely be able to end this thing by the end of 2021, and for the world at large by the end of 2022,” he added.

The billionaire’s Gates Foundation has been working towards increasing access to immunisation in poor countries.

India’s Serum Institute is slated to receive $150 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the GAVI vaccines alliance to make 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses for India and other emerging economies as early as 2021.

The Gates Foundation will provide the funds to GAVI, which will be used to support Serum Institute, the report added.
