Microsoft co-founder, billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates believes effective drugs to treat COVID-19 will significantly reduce mortality rates by the end of 2020. However, only the vaccine will play a decisive role in returning society to normal life.. This, on Tuesday, July 28, reports CNBC. “The drugs used against coronavirus have significant therapeutic benefits. Therefore, I think there is a high probability that by the end of the year we will have a significant reduction in mortality rates thanks to a combination of new tools, ”said Gates.. Created to fight Ebola, Gates recalled remdesivir was one of the leading drugs for treating coronavirus patients in research. The development of the company Gilead Sciences showed a decrease in mortality of critically ill patients by 62%. In addition, two more antiviral drugs are being tested that can be taken orally rather than intravenously like remdesivir.. However, the billionaire noted the importance of people's awareness of the need for vaccination when the drug becomes available..

“I hope people learn the facts, understand the value of those they care about, and understand that we are in this together.. We need to protect each other with masks and perhaps ultimately with herd immunity thanks to the vaccine, ”said Gates. Earlier, the Foundation of Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda provided $ 100 million to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization to accelerate the ubiquitous availability of the coronavirus vaccine after its development..
