We should have been clamping down not opening up, Bill Gates says
CNN ^ | July 23, 2020 | From CNN Health’s Shelby Lin Erdman

Americans should have clamped down on public gatherings instead of opening up, global philanthropist and coronavirus vaccine funder Bill Gates said Thursday on CNN’s Global Town Hall Coronavirus: Facts and Fears.

“There's certainly some activities that the benefit they provide versus the risk of infection means they probably shouldn't be allowed for the rest of this year and until the numbers get way, way down,” Gates said. Going to bars is one of those activities, he said.

“I joke if people went into bars and they didn’t talk, it’d be okay to just sit quietly and drink. But, you know, restaurants, public gatherings, we should have clamped down on those even more at the time we opened them up,” said Gates. “And people said hey, your cases are increasing so you can't be opening up and people hope that we get away with that because people like to come out, but we didn't. In most parts of the country we didn't get away with it.”

Americans? He must mean the protestors.
Alas, Cities Finally Confirm What We Already Knew Regarding the Spike in COVID-19 Cases -- Weeks of anti-police protests contributed to surge

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

you may take your liberty, it is yours to take. But you might wanna take precautions not to get the Chinese virus. I wouldn’t underestimate what we are facing. Just saying.

Do you think protests might be what spiked us again? the protests are representative of what? Marxists? UI’s? China?

A bigger gasbag than the Hindenburg.

Anyone who has a guaranteed income needs to STFU about the Covid, if they're recommending shutdowns.

Bill Gates slamming Democrat Governors for opening up too soon.

Trump had no power to do this. Blame the Governors. Thanks Bill. Go back to SUCKING up to China. That’s what you do best.

Gates is good at only one thing: selling poorly-designed computer operating systems. Why does he feel the need to lecture us on literally everything?

Shut up Bill, and go back to work. I’m still waiting for that patch to my Windows Me machine.

In the meantime, you have less than a 1% chance of dying from Covid. Odds are greater that you’ll die from the flu/pneumonia each year. Scam! Covid numbers are horribly invalid. Majority of deaths are nursing home or those with severe underlying health conditions.

Coming from the man who does not have to worry about his business shutting down and maybe closing forever. He is totally out of touch.
