Through an interview between CNN Anderson Cooper and Bill Gates, the co-chair of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
In the interview, he warns everyone that they could see around 2,000 deaths a day before the vaccine would be available for everyone.
Bill mentioned that they could see the numbers rise in January and February, with several hundred thousand lives would have been lost in the United States alone – if the people refuse to ‘stay the course’.
Bill has spent his last 20 years fighting off infectious diseases through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Using his experience, predicting the matter of COVID-19 would end up it getting close to reality.
Anderson Cooper asked Bill Gates the question we’ve all been wondering – how will the vaccine reach us?
Bill answered that it will most likely happen through the drive-through method, like the COVID-19 testing approach.
“It doesn’t take that long to take the shot – you get the one shot and you come back later for the second shot.”
The vaccinations would have to be closely monitored and reported to the health authorities to make sure that there won’t be any severe side effects.
“We would want to study all those breakthrough cases.”
The distribution of the vaccines to other parts of the world would have to be another challenge that we have to tackle – especially the airline company.
Bill mentions that in order to avoid long lines, they would have to set up and organize how the vaccination will be taking place since you won’t be protected by the virus if you get infected before the vaccination.
It is expected more than 8,000 Boeing 747 jets will be required to send the vaccine throughout the whole world – not to mention that the current vaccines available would have to be stored in their own suitable temperatures, which are below freezing.
Using dry ice would be dangerous for people because it emits carbon dioxide gas that would harm those that inhale it.
