Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, has provoked fury during an interview on Sunday by saying that despite hopes around vaccines the world cannot just go back to normal.
“Bars and restaurants—in most of the country—will be closed as we go into this wave, and I think, sadly, that’s appropriate,” Gates said.
He said the next four to six months “really call on us to do our best, because we can see that this will end and you don’t want somebody that you love to be the last to die from coronavirus.”
Gates was asked when he believes the U.S. will regain some sense of pre-coronavirus life, and he said by late summer, the U.S. could be slightly closer to normal.
“But even through early 2022, unless we help other countries get rid of this disease, and we get high vaccination rates in our country, the risk of reintroduction will be there and, of course, the global economy will be slowed down, which hurts America economically in a pretty dramatic way.”
Many on social media said Gates seemed out of touch when it came to the severity of the crisis when it came to the dire financial stress faced by restaurants.
Richard Grenell, President Trump’s former acting director of National Intelligence, tweeted, “Both have large paychecks.”
