If there is any silver lining, according to Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates, it would be the progress made toward treating people with COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus, and a vaccine.
The Gates Foundation has pledged more than $1.6 billion towards the effort to find a vaccine to control the COVID-19 outbreak. That money will go towards the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization to manufacture and deliver COVID-19 vaccines. A working vaccine is imperative to getting the country back on its feet. The Food and Drug Administration recently indicated that it’s prepared to authorize a coronavirus vaccine, as long as it’s 50% effective.
In the meantime, schools across the country face the tough decision on whether or not they should reopen even without a vaccine.Gates offered his perspective on why in-person instruction would make sense for younger kids.
