Happy New Year 2021
It is almost the end of the year 2020 while some of us are waiting for the same to be ending others do not know what the new year shall bring and thus are pensive about the same. We are still pretty far from seeing the end of the pandemic 2020 that had wrecked 2020 for us. 2020 has been pretty dystopian so personally, I am not having any high hopes from the future that is 2021. It is either herd immunity or a vaccine whichever comes first to rescue the world which is most welcome. It has already been forecasted by Bill Gates that the pandemic will be getting worse before it is able to be getting better.
As of now, the toughest climate changes have been the buildings that have been built and not the cars which were driven. It was actually him who had predicted that regions of the world will experience a surge in Covid cases before it is anything close to being wiped out. This is the same model that predicted that deaths will increase in the fall in both America and Europe. This was also unfortunately proved to be correct. This leads us to the good news which is that better quality of therapeutics which is mainly the monoclonal antibodies that will be readily available by the closure of the year 2020 and by the beginning of the year 2021. The monoclonal antibodies have been created by that of the cloning made from the white blood cells which may be targeted at certain antigens. The now ex-president Donald Trump had received his treatment as a part of the same cocktail which had been used to be defeating his Covid infection. Eli Lilly had very recently paused the trial for monoclonal antibody however Gates had hoped that that will be restarting very soon, maybe in the year 2021 itself.
Most of the
people in the world are better off thinking that fighting changes in the
climate so that we can have greener energies like that of wind or solar power,
self-driven electric cars is the best thing to do but although stalwarts
support the decision people have already realised that they are facing greater
challenges such as those related to the manufacturing of steel and cement.
There is no way to be making cement that can control emissions which are
environmentally harmful. 2021 will hopefully raise this concern in the eyes of
the R&D teams so that they can come up with better solutions for the same.
This means that, although there are changes in the behaviour of humans to be reducing
carbon emissions which are generating mass awareness technology can definitely
speed up the process. Let us hope that 2021 will show the way towards new
innovation since there is no way without the same. One among the world’s
richest people which is Gates is already funding Heliogen which is a start-up
that is exploring different ways fir the using of solar power for applications
of higher temperatures for cement and steel manufacture.
2021 is
hopefully ushering in things getting better and many famous personalities
including Gates is really optimistic about the same. It is also going to be a
year of treating minorities and women better while battling deaths due to
cancer, understanding of Alzheimer’s and diabetes. There are obviously setbacks
but here is hoping that setbacks do not mark the end of our endeavours with the
pandemic being a huge example of the same and we must believe that trying can
help us overcome anything as humans. May we all have a Happy New Year 2021!
