Everyone may be wondering about post-pandemic life. Is it possible that the world will be COVID-free? How and when will this happen? Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates and World Health Organization Chief Science Officer Soumya Swaminathan warned everyone that the world might not be able to go back to a pre-pandemic lifestyle until at least 2022.
Having a vaccine is the only solution to end the Covid-19 pandemic, but it will take more years before fully developed. According to a news report, it regularly takes ten years to build immunization. Yet, endeavors to deliver one for COVID are continuing at a remarkable pace, with 40 antibodies in clinical preliminaries and nine at present in Phase 3 testing.
A statistics of 29.4 million affirmed cases of the Coronavirus announced all around the world, just as 931,272 deaths. Specialists cautioned that the fall in the Northern Hemisphere might lead to an increase in cases and deaths because of the confusion emerging from combating Covid-19 during this virus season.
Moreover, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation released the fourth of its yearly Goalkeeper reports, which track the world’s moderate yet consistent advancement toward well being related objectives set out by the United Nations in 2015, according to a news report. The current year was persistently inauspicious. The COVID pandemic has seared away long years of work, and moore families are struggling in poverty. The lack of healthy sustenance is worsening, and far fewer youngsters are getting a vaccination.
During this challenging time when a vaccine is for Covid-19 is not yet developed, Swaminathan advises the public to keep practicing with mitigation practices such as wearing of face masks and social distancing until adequate amounts of immunization are delivered and directed to vaccinate at any rate 60 to 70 percent of the populace.
For Dr. David Nabarro, a World Health Organization special envoy on Coronavirus, everyone is still at the beginning of it.
“None of us find the present situation anything other than horrible, grotesque, really embarrassing. It’s a terrible situation; a health issue has got so out of control it’s knocking the world into not just a recession, but a huge economic contraction which would probably double the number of poor people, double the number of malnourished, lead to hundreds of millions of small businesses going bankrupt.”

In contrast, Bill Gates showed optimism, stating that if there is the mass production of vaccines for the whole world, “then there is hope.”
“If we’re lucky enough that several of these vaccines work, including the ones that are low cost enough that we can scale the manufacturing.”
