Bill Gates calls for 10 week nationwide shutdown.

“Despite urging from public health experts, some states and counties haven’t shut down completely,” he said. “In some states, beaches are still open; in others, restaurants still serve sit-down meals. This is a recipe for disaster. Because people can travel freely across state lines, so can the virus.”
He explained that until the numbers start to go down across the country — which he says could take at least 10 weeks — the shutdown should be in play everywhere. He also stepped up his call for more testing and was hopeful a vaccine will be developed in less than 18 months.

‘There really is no middle ground, and it’s very tough to say to people, “Hey, keep going to restaurants, go buy new houses, [and] ignore that pile of bodies over in the corner,’” he said, taking aim at politicians who seem to think GDP growth is all that counts.

Bill Gates should stick to software.
Shutdowns do not affect is wealth.

90% of Americans currently live in an area on lockdown
I see no reason why someone in western rural Kansas needs to be on lockdown

Is he going to pay everyone to stay home?
If not, then he should shut the hell up!

Yeah easy to just shutdown things for 10 weeks when you're a retired billionaire.

Bill Gates has a home where you never have a reason to leave. He can kiss my arse.

They would be counted as "coronavirus related deaths" anyway, so we would be good...

Agreed, leave the opinions on our response to the coronavirus to those who inhabit internet forums.

I'm glad that virologist Bill Gates can explain to us the intricacies of viral spread, human societal movement, and government edicts.

And he's not a sensationalist either!

You really are a person that needs to be ruled over, aren't you? Sorry for having discussion and dissenting views of your overlords. I'm sure they'll reward you with a few bread crumbs for your loyalty.

Bill is ok with that little $1,200 and unemployment check?
He's gonna have to tighten the belt.
