In controversial new statements, Microsoft founder Bill Gates warned of the risk of the Corona epidemic returning in force in 2022, unless “two conditions” are met.
Gates’s interview with CNN was characterized by realism and, despite his praise for the announced vaccines, he warned of the danger of returning to “starting point.”
“Many parts of the United States must act correctly for the country to regain some level of normalcy,” Gates said. And Bill Gates, 64, is an influential voice in global efforts to tackle the epidemic, and he co-founded the Bill and Melinda Gates Institute for Medical Research for this purpose.
When asked about lockdown measures like the ones the state of California has taken to prevent further injuries to Corona, the American billionaire said: “I think it is unfortunately appropriate.
Gates asked “to make all the possible efforts during the first four to six months of the next work”, considering that the subject “will contribute to the end of the epidemic”.
And Gates, who is one of the richest people in the world, expressed his belief that America will restore normalcy by the end of next summer.
But he added: “But until early 2022, unless we help other countries to get rid of this disease, and unless we achieve broad levels of vaccination in our country, the risk of the epidemic will return.”
Since the beginning of the Corona crisis, Gates has faced widespread criticism for his pessimistic rhetoric, while he has generated controversy more than once for his speech on videos recorded years ago about the “epidemic that will paralyze the world”, as did the current pandemic.
