Co-founder of Microsoft Foundation, Bill Gates, has said he does not know why COVID-19 cases and deaths in Africa are low as against the figures obtainable in developed countries.

Back in 2015, Bill Gates largely predicted the pandemic. As a result, I ve followed his subsequent pronouncements and predictions with special care.
No, Gates isn t a perfect person, and he s not the single source of truth. But after he s dedicated so much time and money to combating the pandemic, I was eager to read his latest blog post, in which he revealed the breakthroughs that he thinks will make 2021 better than 2020.
You can decide for yourself, but I think he does a good job of wrapping up positive developments, and delivering them in a way that s hopeful without being Pollyanna-ish.
