And what does Gates propose we do? We have been propping up Africa for decades, especially in feeding them. What is going to happen if we get some kind of global cooling, that is certainly going to effect farming and we may be lucky to be able to feed ourselves. You can forget feeding the Chinese and the Africans at that point, they are on their own.
As bad as that would be, it would start putting the population back into some kind of equilibrium.
If the Virus does hit Africa there is nothing we could do, it would have just have to play out.
Most of East Africa will die, if this thing is bad. In South Africa there will be the butchering of the whites, there might be some hope for Northeast Africa. But I doubt it.
And my guess is some of the million Chinese in Africa might have just brought it back from New Years.
Maybe next time we wont screw them again.
Presuming Gates is still a US citizen, he should focus energy and money on protecting the American people first. We cannot take care of everyone any more than we should be worlds policeman, unless we get to set the rules entirely. China wants our help, okay, let them give up their nukes and disband the military.
