What philanthropist Bill Gates has predicted for ongoing pandemic

Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates had predicted a pandemic in 2015 and his words came true in 2020. He has now predicted when the coronavirus pandemic would end and remains optimistic about a vaccine. Here are some of his hard-hitting statements regarding COVID-19.

"Coronavirus pandemic may end in many countries by 2021".

"I don't know that changing administrations will get people to wear more masks".

"Millions more will die before the end of pandemic, mostly due to diseases other than COVID-19."

"Billions must be spent to produce COVID-19 vaccine to stop the economic damage, which is costing trillions".

"Around 30-60 percent of the world's population needs to be vaccinated to contain the pandemic".

"Although in their typical authoritarian way, China did a very good job of suppressing the virus".

"US certainly didn't get ready, we didn't run the simulations to realize that getting testing up quickly would be important. So we failed before it came along. And then once it hit, we also made some mistakes".
