Recently, billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has offered a strategy on how to fight the coronavirus by taking only five steps. He believes that the coronavirus is causing havoc and devastation to the humankind as much as World War II. Besides, there is another common feature. Many scientific breakthroughs were made exactly during that period. In order to defeat the common enemy, a lot of countries around the world mobilized their efforts and came up with brilliant innovations. Now the coronavirus is the common enemy and humanity has again united to rip the virus root and stem. This is why many developed countries are likely to make a great deal of incredible scientific discoveries in many fields while addressing the corona crisis. Bill Gates urges to pay attention to five things in order to cope with the coronavirus successfully:
Medical treatment. "People will need a treatment that is at least 95% effective so that people feel safe in public gatherings, such as football matches or concerts," he pointed out.
Vaccine. Usually, a safe and effective vaccine emerges after five years but in this case, under an optimistic scenario, the vaccine will take 18 months or two years.
Testing. It is necessary to develop a testing mechanism to get results in one day. In addition, ordinary citizens should have access to testing at home.
Contact tracking. Countries should follow the example of Germany. The country maintains a database of people who have encountered infected people.
Social distancing. People should practice social distancing.
