- Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Thursday to give his assessment of where things stand with the US response to the coronavirus pandemic — and what Gates, through his work with his charitable foundation, thinks should happen next as researchers race to develop a vaccine for COVID-19.
- There’s reason for hope: Gates thinks early results from the first vaccines may be known by this summer.

The same day that Bill Gates published an exhaustive, 6,000-word essay on his GatesNotes blog that dives into everything about the coronavirus pandemic, from what happened to why the US reacted the way it did and what the country needs to do next, he appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert for a more informal chat along those same lines.
His essay tried to find notes of optimism, as hard as it seems like they are to come by right now, and Gates did the same in his conversation with the late-night host. For example, when Colbert asked Gates — who’s been at the forefront of coronavirus vaccine research via his charitable foundation — for a timeframe of how we get out of this pandemic, here’s how Gates broke everything down.
