Co-founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates has provided a list of
things that must be done to enable life return to normal again.
Gates said he is particularly excited about pursuing a new
approach called ‘RNA vaccine,’ with code needed to produce viral fragments on
its own.
Gates’s list contains what governments across the world must
do if life is to go back to normal.
The billionaire businessman has been adding his voice,
making suggestions on ways to fight the Coronavirus pandemic.
In an interview with White House Infectious disease expert
Dr Fauci, on Thursday night, Gates listed four things that would help fight the
pandemic.
The number one on his list is “testing.” Gates said that
countries must improve and develop various strategies to advance current
testing methods including at-home test kits.
The billionaire also said that “contact tracing” is key.
He said Germany’s model of interviewing everyone who tests
positive and using a database to make sure someone follows up with all their
contacts would be useful. Gates suggested that technology may be more adept at
this, such as apps that help you remember where you’ve been or using cell
phones.
He mentioned “effective treatment” but noted that right now,
there is no ready vaccine for the treatment for Covid-19, as other drugs like
hydroxychloroquine have received a lot of attention but are still being
studied.
Gates finally talked about getting a “vaccine” which many
countries and companies around the world are working at break-neck speed to
develop.
Talking about the “RNA vaccine” Gates explained, “Unlike a
flu shot, which contains fragments of the influenza virus so your immune system
can learn to attack them, an RNA vaccine gives your body the genetic code
needed to produce viral fragments on its own, So, once your body senses traces
of the infection, it attacks it.”
