I didn’t read that he’s an expert on viruses. All the information he conveyed has been reported. He just compiled it. The basic facts he presents are correct. But of course, since that doesn’t follow the narrative that most in the FreeRepublic want to hear, they mock and belittle.

If you look at people who have run the full course of the disease you've got 2867 dead, and 39555 who have either died or recovered. 2867/39555 is a 7.2% fatality rate.
WHO uses the textbook formula for historical epidemics. After the epidemic is over all the confirmed cases have had a fair and honest chance to die...
People like Gates and Buffet and Bezos have access to the best advisors in the world. That’s why they can speak authoritatively.
if gates wanted to become an expert in virology, he could, and for all I know he did. he is quite old now but he has been retired from day-to-day MSFT operations for a long time. He is quite intelligent and could very well have been educated in any number of topics by very competent teachers.
