I have never been a Gates/MS hater. Neither have I been a fanboy. I’ve just never given a damn about the guy one way or the other.
That said, this proposal from a multi-billionaire who will personally suffer little if at all from the economic devastation of his proposal is 100% Pure Idiocy.
You cannot keep this economy on ice for much longer than is currently proposed without creating The Great Depression 2.
As President Trump has said, this country was not built for that. We are the United States of America. Not, the cowering, snowflake, socialist nanny states of America.
There truly is a point where the cure can be far worse than the disease.

Exactly the wrong thing to do.

The right things to do:

- Deploy masks and sanitizer on emergency basis, with guidance and warnings. It’s already a crime to spread disease carelessly.

- Articulate and refine whom is quarantined. Young people having no contact with older people should be able to go back to work, and to bars, restaurants and all kinds of gatherings.

Completely? That’s what he said. He’s a smart man. He knows what completely means.

He has enough money to tide him over. We don’t. The country is operating at about 1/4 capacity, which will lead to a recession or depression.

I applaud those individuals who went to work for grocery delivery companies, and services like Grubhub, who are working for what looks like very little money and some personal exposure to danger.

How much do you want to bet he is nominated to become head of the United Nations or a position similar to that?

Excellent point. We have places in this country that have yet to see one case in their county last I checked. We have places like New York that have thousands of cases. You cannot treat New York like a royal county in the west with no cases or vice versa. Decisions have to be made based on the conditions in need of each area. A one size fits all approach is doomed to fail from the start.

Must be nice to advocate for a “complete national shut down” not sure what that’s exactly supposed to mean, do grocery stores stay open, do you auto repair shop stay open so nurses can get to work, etc. When you were sitting on piles of cash and don’t have to worry about paying your bills or putting food on the table etc.

The talking heads and influencers still haven't figured out the the bulk of the cases are in the blue city paradises. Take NYC, LA, Seattle and Detroit out of the equation and there is low incidence of infection.

Quarantine those pestholes and the rest of us can get back to work.

Bill Gates is a pro-abort, one world government, 1000-mandatory-vaccines- for-all d1ckhead.

The Gates foundation, John Hopkins, and WHO jointly war-gamed this pandemic October 18, 2019 - weeks before "patient zero".

Event 201

Before it gets taken down.

Bill Gates said... Joe Biden said... Oprah Winfrey said... In other news. President Trump is leading forty five major companies, such as Fed Ex and Proctor and Gamble.

Depleted Uranium has had the highly fissionable isotopes removed leaving only u-238 which I think is almost valueless as a fuel. When used as an anti tank projectile it leaves behind a toxic dust which kills mostly by heavy metal poisoning, although I think some radiation cancers are caused by u-238 dust inhaled into the lungs. U-238 by itself has a four and a half billion year half life.

I do not dislike Bill Gates, but he is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

I loathe and despise Bill Gates.
Well as much as I can with out paying attention to him these days.

But I followed his rise in the eighties, and the ways he made his money then so it follows that I have no stomach for the old scallawag now.

Probably most people who read Byte or Ziff Davis’s PC Magazine or various legal journals back then feel the same way

My 90 year old mom lives in my home I am 66 and I go out everyday to help my neighbors with shopping ect. I am washing my hands, sanitizing the shopping cart handles I have a jogging suit in the garage when I come home each day I pull into the garage change into the jogging suit come in wash my hands and we have been just fine!!! I live in CA. we have a population of 40 million with 6,500 cases, my county population is 900,000 and we have 104 cases!! I personally believe this whole damn thing has been completely overblown and I would expect the numbers to be very high in NY as it would be with any other illness!!
