Microsoft founder Bill Gates said it is not the right time to question China's response to the onset of the coronavirus.
China has been accused of trying to cover up and spread misinformation about its COVID-19 virus outbreak in a way that escalated the global pandemic. When asked to "respond to the charge" that China covered up the virus during a Sunday interview on CNN, Gates argued that it is not time to be questioning the country.
"China did a lot of things right at the beginning, like any country where a virus first shows up," he said. "They can look back and say where they missed some things. You know, some countries did respond very quickly and get their testing in place, and they avoided the incredible economic pain. Its sad that even the U.S. that you would have expected to do this well did it particularly poorly. But its not time to talk about that."
He continued, "This is the time to take the great science we have, the fact were in this together, fixed testing, treatments, and get that vaccine, and minimize the trillions of dollars and many things you that you cant even dimensionalize, in economic terms, that are awful about the situation were in. So, thats a distraction. I think theres a lot of incorrect and unfair things said, but its not even time for that discussion."
The World Health Organization, an agency of the United Nations, has been criticized for its chummy relationship with the Chinese Communist Party, including its role in touting a Chinese study that claimed the coronavirus could not spread between humans. Because of this, President Trump cut U.S. aid to the organization, pending an investigation into its coronavirus response.

The last thing I had with Bill Gate’s name on it was Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
He should be listened to by no one.
China protected the rest of China from Wuhan, but not the rest of the world.
Case closed.
Gates is the same as anyone else, -and nobody cares what he says!
Keep in mind that Gates has been doing business with China for years, and is upset that his state of the art nuclear reactor designs for China, nearing design completion, were cancelled by the Trump administration as prohibited technology for export. So he’s upset over that.
He's not a publicly elected official and doesn't serve in any official capacity as anything but being wealthy. And he doesn't have a medical background so his opinion is just that, an opinion.
Bill Gates is a partisan hack just like every other talking head on TV. Just becasue he's rich don't make him an expert.
Ignore his opinion.
Silicon Valley is full of Leftists who make countless profits from Americans while trying to destroy America.
Sen. Tom Cotton made a rather damning accusation on Maria Bartiroma’s show today. He said that China knew in December that the virus could spread from human to human and they realized they had a major pandemic on their hands. They could not take the risk that China alone would be attacked and economically impacted by this and lose their standing in the world. They made a conscious decision to allow the virus to spread from Wuhan outside of China and not notify the other nations for weeks so that everyone would suffer the effects and not just China. Impossible to prove but their actions seem consistent with this charge.
Well, he and Melinda did “pledge” to allegedly give away most of their fortune @ death
My question is: Why wait? You’ve got your billions, give it NOW Your monumental ego in wanting to top the Forbes 400 is getting in the way, Bill

From 11 victims we get 30 different mutations? Either this is a poorly written article by FoxNews or something fishy is going on.
Is this virus mutating as they examine it?
But if true, this doesn’t look like a naturally occurring virus based on what little I know and understand. I am not a biologist, but this just seems weird.
This should have come with an interpretation. He doesn’t speak any better than that? Unbelievable!!! In other words, I refuse to be pinned down for an answer!!

Bil, can you grasp that nobody gives a “S” what you think?
Who really gives a rats ass what this washed up geek has to say?
he cant be very smart.. taking the attitude on china he got from someone else.. he stumbled onto something that made him very wealthy.. and the rest of his brains lie dormant and rotting.
This reminds me of the merchants mentioned in Revelation 18, who were doing just fine working under the anti-Christ.
But, Trump caused 50,000 people to die are not a distraction.
From the man who goes out of the way to complicate everyones lives.
Bill: Just so you know, I am able to consider a Chinese coverup, dribble a basketball and invent a new computer operating system at the same time.
Try it. Its not that hard.
