Bill Gates says the worst is yet to come When America enters the winter months before a widespread vaccination is completed.
“The next four to six months could be the worst of the epidemic,” Gates said during an interview with Jake Tapper CNN and ‘State of the Union’.
The magnate became a philanthropist (he has already donated more than $ 100 million for the coronavirus vaccine research) detailed why the worst pandemic would come, listed in a website post Gizmodo.
“If we can follow the rules and keep our distance, we can prevent the worst deaths, but in the short term, the arrival of winter is bad news “, Gates stated.
Gates’ perspective echoes what public health experts have been saying for months, like This wintry rise in cases is probably the deadliest yet. According to epidemiologists, the coronavirus has already proven to be a seasonal virus like the flu, and while it doesn’t change radically every year like the flu, seems to have a stronger impact in the winter months.
This is consistent with the fact that SARS-Cov-2 is a respiratory pathogen it proliferates in closed, damp and warm environments, just the kind of environments we’ve been in winter so far.
This encourages the public to enforce biosecurity measures. Using the mask, taking social distance and washing hands are even more important in this day and age. If caution is not exercised, the next few months will be even more complicated than the last, as experts Bill Gates, one of those who predicted the coronavirus pandemic, detailed and warned.
The vaccine may not be sufficient if we do not accompany it with a scientific culture. According to a recent survey by Pew Research, only 21% of Americans are convinced they should get the vaccine. (I)
