Bill Gates Calls For Complete National Shutdown
Breitbart ^ | 4-1-2020 | Lucas Nolan

Posted on 04/01/2020 2:33:27 PM PDT by blam

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has called for a nationwide shutdown in an effort to combat the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus.

The Hill reports that Microsoft founder and billionaire philanthropist has called on a nationwide lockdown of the United States in an op-ed in the Washington Post. Gates states that he has spoken with experts through his charity who have stated that national policy would be more effective than multiple states issuing stay-at-home others while others remain open. Gates argues that the country needs a “consistent nationwide approach to shutting down.”

Gates writes in the op-ed: “Despite urging from public health experts, some states and counties haven’t shut down completely. 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. The country’s leaders need to be clear: Shutdown anywhere means shutdown everywhere,” he added. “Until the case numbers start to go down across America — which could take 10 weeks or more — no one can continue business as usual or relax the shutdown.”

Gates also stated that while a vaccine for the virus could be available within 18 months, “creating a vaccine is only half the battle.” Gates wrote: “We can start now by building the facilities where these vaccines will be made. Because many of the top candidates are made using unique equipment, we’ll have to build facilities for each of them, knowing that some won’t get used.”

He added: “Private companies can’t take that kind of risk, but the federal government can. It’s a great sign that the administration made deals this week with at least two companies to prepare for vaccine manufacturing. I hope more deals will follow.”

I recently saw a biography of Bill Gates on Netflix. I don't dislike him as much as I once did.

This is what partly changes my opinion: Bill Gates To Fund (Nuclear) Reactor Research, Says Report
It will use depleated urnium as fuel.

What credentials does he have? If he wants to make national policy, then he can run for office. Otherwise it’s just more shots from the peanut gallery.

This is a time when we don’t need 1,297,518 chiefs.

Just be content to be a Native American Bill.

Go home billygoat.

As king of the world, I am saying that NO IMMIGRATION can take place between countries for 5 years...KING KONG directive #1...NO MOVEMENT between borders for 5 years including armies, in the name of WORLD SECURITY.

If you like your virus you can keep your virus. SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY.

That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Gee, if everyone had billions of dollars, that would be a great idea. He failed to post his address, so we can send him our bills when they come due.

Yep, tell us all about it.

Friday, October 18, 2019
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation jointly propose these recommendations.

“The scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed.”
