COVID-19 can be treated like seasonal flu after Omicron surge: Bill Gates

World's fourth richest person Bill Gates said COVID-19 can be treated more like a seasonal flu once the Omicron variant goes through a country. "Omicron will create a lot of immunity at least for the next year," he wrote on Twitter. He added that while a more transmissive variant isn't likely, "we have been surprised a lot during this pandemic".
