Bill & Melinda predict date that the world will be ‘completely back to normal'
2021-03-26
[NYP] Bill Gates has predicted that the world will be "completely back to normal" from the COVID-19 pandemic by the end of 2022.

The Microsoft founder said the health crisis has been an "incredible tragedy," but one bright spot has been the arrival of vaccines.

"By the end of 2022 we should be basically completely back to normal," Gates said in an interview for Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza and television broadcaster TVN24.

His wife, Melinda Gates, also provided a similar timeline earlier this month when asked when she believed global herd immunity could be reached against the virus.

Noting that vaccines probably won’t reach developing countries "en masse" until the end of this year, she said that "it’ll be sometime in 2022."

"And boy, I think we’re all looking forward to that. There are a lot of people that are suffering, not just in the US but everywhere," Melinda said on CNBC.

#10  Bill Gates, known for delivering a shoddy product eventually made almost acceptable through constant upgrades. Might have been good enough for Windows but not for a Vaccine.

#9  Bill Gates’s foundation invested $40 million in CureVac, a German m-RNA vaccine developer back in 2015. Their Covid vaccine is now in stage 3 clinical testing; they’ve pre-sold 5 million doses to the Swiss government in anticipation of approval in a few months, but missed out on the American and British markets. So their interest is selling to the rest of the world...and incidentally increasing European and worldwide resilience to the next thing “accidentally” coming out of China.

#3  It's very rarely ever been 'normal'. Barbaric maybe with islands of calm that last until the neighbors decide to be true to their base human nature.

#2  I wonder that'd happen if one were to get Bill away from Melinda before asking him that he really thinks?
