* Gates says it is of 'critical importance' in getting vaccines to developing world 

* Microsoft founder said world will be 'completely normal' by the end of 2022 

Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has expressed confidence that the world will be 'completely back to normal' by the end of 2022. 

The Microsoft founder said he expected Covid infection levels to be reduced to 'very small numbers' by the end of next year as vaccines became increasingly available around the world. 

He said within 'the next three or four months' the US and other developed countries will start to have excess vaccines they can share with the developing world. 

'Over the balance of the year, the US, the UK and others will be able to make sure that the vaccines are now going to the developing countries,' he told Sky News' Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme.

WNU Editor: Historically speaking. When the world experienced major wars, pandemics, etc., it took years (i.e. 5 years or more) to return to "normal". I expect the same will happen with the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. IMHO Bill Gates is too optimistic.

Bill Gates is not dumb, but he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. The key building blocks of Microsoft were developed by slow moving moribund corporations or small start ups with out connections. Bill had connections. Bill is plenty smart, just not as smart as he thinks he is.

"Back to normal" on what?
Italy has experienced the outcome of privatization of our national healthcare system, also the division about interest among regions and central government, the deprivation of welfare state in many years, on large sectors of society, the repression on workers in fights for their rights, and the stressed middle class leave without money.
Former PM Conte has obtained 209 billions of euros for Italy Recovery Plan, but in the end, today we have another not-elected government of unity; from the (so called) Left to the far right, witch under Draghi, the ultimate technocratic dictator of UE, is going to complete the transformation of our country in a neoliberist far west for foreign interests.

25 april is the day of Liberation of Italy from nazifascism, but today many peoples, not only radical left and right, sensed our nation as lesser free since the end of WW2.

It never wasn't normal.
The normal is that psychosis psychopaths in the media give cover to those who start wars and terrorise the world. Be it by biological agent, a virus, a bomb, ten thousand bombs or nukes.
This is the normal on planet Earth.
Until we get rid of the monsters, the monsters terrorise the population for their benefit.
The media, CNN,MSNBC,CBS,NYTIMES,WAPO... they either give cover for these monsters, from Cuomo to pharma executives making billions throug addiction while DAs put Weed dealers away for years.
Monsters. All of them.
