Bill Gates said widespread testing would be critical as life starts to return to normal.
To offer a better sense of the gradual reopening in developed countries, Gates gave the example of Microsoft’s operation in China, which has roughly 6,200 employees.
“No one who lives through Pandemic I will ever forget it,” he wrote. “And it is impossible to overstate the pain that people are feeling now and will continue to feel for years to come.” In addition to testing, Gates said contact tracing is also important to stopping the spread of the virus: “China was where the first infection took place. They were able to use stringent isolation and extensive testing to stop most of the spread.”China and South Korea required patients to turn over information about where they have been in the last 14 days by looking at GPS information on their phone or their spending records.
The pandemic has spread around the world, infecting more than 2.7 million people and killing more than 190,000.
