Humanity will be able to return to normal life only after the advent of the coronavirus vaccine. This will happen no sooner than in one or two years, said the American billionaire, Microsoft founder Bill Gates in an interview with Le Figaro .
“The vaccine is very important, because that’s probably how we get back to normal,” Gates said.
“(This will not happen. – Ed.) Sooner than in one or two years,” the entrepreneur added. According to him, such an option is possible if it is possible to develop a system that eliminates the risk of a resumption of the epidemic.
Gates pointed out that testing and tracking methods already allow countries to quickly locate foci of disease and control them. However, it will not be easy to return to a normal, familiar life after the pandemic, as people will remain afraid of becoming infected even after lifting the restrictions.
On April 27, doctor Alexander Myasnikov said that humanity will face more serious epidemics than in the case of coronavirus . According to him, next time the mortality rate will be about 35%.
