Bill Gates Involvements in coronavirus

Bill Gates Advice, About Coronavirus

Considering the situation that persists since the start of 2020, it is very important for us to find an answer to a very important question, “is the novel Coronavirus a synonym for death, destruction and devastation?”

 

What started with a normal flu, turned out to be a symptom of a global pandemic. Time and again, you have heard about the roots that can be traced back to the city of Wuhan in China. Taking the lives of thousands, it came out to be the most destructive villain in the history of mankind. How did it start and how can it affect the existence of human lives?

 It can be said that this Coronavirus can be termed as  the ‘Thanos’, who has taken the responsibility of reducing the population of the world at one go. One thing is for sure, this novel Coronavirus is not biased to rich or poor and coronavirus made sure that it spreads equally among the rich and poor. Funny enough, even if you have loads of money it won't spare you. There are no successful vaccines which came out to fight against this virus.

 On a serious note, it can be said that it has adversely affected millions of lives and continues to affect thousands. Many well known and popular individuals have come forward to help and support the cause. Some have given up their properties for quarantine centres and others have equally contributed financially for the welfare of the society. Among many of these well known personalities, one name is Bill Gates, who not only contributed all he could but also made sure that proper treatment is given.

 Interestingly enough, he saw this deadly world pandemic coming, back in 2015 when he spoke on the TED Talk. He explained the various causes and effects of this Coronavirus and how adversely it can affect the existence of humans. So far as we know, there is no vaccine or medicine available for this disease but scientists and doctors are working hard to get a breakthrough.

You all might have come across a lot of rumours that Mr. Gates has a huge role to play in spreading this deadly virus. Bill Gates, the second richest man in the world, has been planning for this world pandemic so that his research can come true. An assumption that was made 5 years back can be seen in reality taking the lives of millions. It can be said that Bill Gates addressed this virus will come in the next decade and can take lives up to 30 millions. Well, it's all rumors and can’t be taken to be true as Mr. Gates has done the maximum a person can do to help and control this pandemic situation. 

Speaking of his contribution, Bill Gates, along with his wife Melinda Gates, built a foundation in 2000, spending around 750 million dollar to support and save millions of lives. This Gates Foundation funds help fight against diseases, like Polio and µalaria. During these 20 years of existence, the Gates Foundation has spent over 40 billion dollars on public health and global development.

 Since he warned us early about this pandemic situation, he is all up on his toes to contribute the maximum he can to help control and support. He has urged the government to take earlier precaution in underdeveloped countries and has already spent more than $100 million to fight coronavirus. His hard work on treatment and vaccines can not be overlooked. He has been working on plans to make sure we don't meet such a pandemic situation ever again in the future. 

The United States, when it first experienced this flu-like illness, the Gates funded, Seattle Flu Study first requested for a detailed research of the sample to study the novel coronavirus but the government was not ready to spare any time for some other studies. Finally, when tested, it was found out that the illness was nothing but the novel Coronavirus. 

The United States then took the first step as soon as it was detected by maintaining social distance earlier than most of the countries. The Gates Foundation, headquartered in Seattle, has done additional research at home to find out other means of ending this virus.

 It is easy to demark a person with such great fame, keeping into consideration his earlier work and research on coronavirus and the speech in 2015 in TED Talks. But the most important thing is, because of his research and study, we are able to know the signs, and precautionary measures that one should take in order to stay safe. The Gates foundation has always been there to support and fund for deadly situations like this.

 When Mr. Gates was interviewed about the rumors and his involvement in the spread of the virus, he was very wise to say “with crazy situations comes crazy rumours”. One can not blame such a personality for useless rumours. With the catastrophic situation where most humans live are at the verge of perishing, some people are busy playing the blame game. 

Each one of us should understand that the world is in a very critical situation where no one knows what is right and wrong. It is important to think and decide wisely upon our actions. Social distancing is one of the key factors that can help reduce the numbers of infected people at a huge rate. Frequent hand washing and wearing a mask is also mandated. 

While all of us are at home trying to do our part of controlling this virus, It is important to also let yourself know about the right and wrong rumours. Let us invest this free time at home in doing something useful that can help oneself and the society at large.

 Let us all praise these amazing personalities who have come forward to help the cause and have given all they had to stop this world pandemic situation. A special thanks can also be given to Mr Gates for his share of contribution.
