Bill Gates' forecast for coronavirus deaths by summer 2022

The turning point for Covid will be next summer, according to Gates.

By the middle of next year, the Covid-19 will not cause more deaths than the common flu, according to Microsoft billionaire founder Bill Gates.

"In the midst of natural immunity, vaccine immunity and new oral therapies, mortality and morbidity rates should drop dramatically," he told the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore.

According to Bill and Melinda Gates, head of the foundation, the turning point for Covid will be next summer.

As he said, vaccine supply issues "will be largely resolved" by mid-2022. While the pharmaceutical companies Merck and Pfizer will have developed the coronavirus pill. Which means that if someone with underlying diseases or other vulnerability gets stuck Covid-19, will be able to start treatment as soon as he is diagnosed positive.

"So between natural immunity, vaccine immunity and those pills that can boost it in a way that antibodies never did, mortality and morbidity rates by next summer must have dropped below those of the average seasonal flu." he noted, adding that "at that point, economic activity should have been fully restored".

By the end of this week, more than 255 million coronavirus cases and 5,1 million deaths have been reported, according to Johns Hopkins University.
