Bill Gates: A complete return to normal after the epidemic may not be until the end of 2022
According to foreign media reports, on Sunday, local time in the United States, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was interviewed by the media and warned that a complete return to normal life after the epidemic may not be until the end of 2022.
The third new crown vaccine candidate approved by the US regulatory agency has just come out. Gates said that the rapid development of the vaccine is a "miracle" and should help Americans return to "almost normal" lives as early as this fall, including almost all schools School reopened, restaurants resumed business, and spectators at sports games returned to the scene.
But he warned that global lawmakers have not taken enough action to ensure that the economy is fully restored to normal by the end of next year. He also added that so far, the vaccine has “only flowed to rich countries”, which leaves the risk that the new coronavirus variant may spread abroad and make a comeback in the United States.
Gates said that adding vaccine factories in countries such as India may help reduce the risk of overseas infections and help the whole world return to normal faster. He said that vaccine manufacturers AstraZeneca, Novavax and Johnson & Johnson are already working on such projects.
But Gates said: "Unfortunately, the CDC's response at the beginning of the outbreak was slightly lacking (that is, insufficient testing in the early stage of the outbreak). To make matters worse, the same is true for the introduction of vaccines. But in the United States, vaccines Supply will not be too restricted in about three months."
A study conducted by researchers from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) in January found that if vaccines cannot reach emerging markets fast enough, the global economy may suffer a loss of 3 trillion US dollars. The impact may be higher. (Little)
