The cofounder of Windows, Bill Gates has recently told his followers that the current year wasn’t able to bring stability to the ongoing pandemic situation as much as he thought it would, instead, the number of deaths in 2021 were way higher than 2020, this could be due to the fact that the virus kept evolving in different variants also with the complications faced by the health workers to convince people for getting vaccinated.
However, the billionaire expressed in a blog post that he is positive about the upcoming year. According to Bill Gates, 2022 could be the end game for the acute phase of the current pandemic situation. He mentioned that dealing with the Delta Variant and vaccination procedure could be challenging but as much as the situation has evolved negatively, there were also some positive aspects as well including rapid detection of aCovid-19 patient along with the advancement observed in vaccines efficiency accompanied by the anti viral drugs used for symptomatic treatment. This made him believe that right now the world is ready to face different variants through different vaccines.
Research faculties along with pharmaceutical companies are currently busy in studying the latest variant of Corona Virus, also known as Omicron. The reason why this variant has been causing wide spread tension is due to its wide variety of mutation which makes it difficult to find the efficiency of vaccines against the virus. But, Bill Gate believes that soon information carrying basic knowledge and findings about the Omicron will soon be available publicly as his own foundation is also working on it.
In his blog post, he added that outbreaks of Covid-19 will keep happening at different intervals, but vaccines as well as the antivirus drugs will play an important role to weaken the outbreak and the patient can be treated with them while hospitals will be ready to deal with severe complications. Further he added that he is hoping that soon there will be a time when Covid-19 will be remembered only when people will be getting themselves vaccinated in fall to prevent from catching up cold or getting positive for Covid-19.
Gates also shared his views regarding Metaverse and it's usability, "Within the next two or three years, I predict most virtual meetings will move from 2D camera image grids—which I call the Hollywood Squares model, although I know that probably dates me—to the metaverse, a 3D space with digital avatars. Both Facebook and Microsoft recently unveiled their visions for this, which gave most people their first view of what it will look like."
