Microsoft founder Bill Gates wrote an op-ed in the New England Journal of Medicine calling the coronavirus a 'once-in-a-century pandemic,' and urged leaders to both 'solve the immediate problem and keep it from happening again'

The state will receive an additional shipment of testing kits to test up to 1,200 people, according to the press release. “As we face the likelihood of community transmission here in California, having this resource where we need it, is essential to better inform public health response and protect our communities," Angell said.

When do we hear one of the richest men in the world, for 35 years, tell us how generous he is? I’ll believe he’s generous when he’s no longer in the top 1,000 richest people in the world.

RealRonHoward I'm a Northern grrl and for so long I've said 'it isn't hot climates I don't like but things that like hot climates' dengue fever ebola or there's no scorpions under rocks, praying mantis' in the bathroom sink; no shrieking 'the gecko has 2 go!' it's the whether BSc (zoology)

WHY does Bill Gates get an Op-Ed in New England Journal of Medicine? He is not a doctor!!!

He's hoping so. Anyone who saw his Ted Talk knows that he thinks we need to reduce the human population.

Read what he said. As usual, cnn is feeding the hysteria

RealRonHoward Really? Well if Bill says it's real, then it must be real.

Now do deaths every year from the flu!

We’ve had more than one pandemic in the last century. With this type of thinking though if they are this rare we already do a pretty good job of limiting them

AND Trump is not up to the task—there's nothing in it for him. EVIL cares not for the suffering of others and Trump NEVER did-he's just a con-man.

RealRonHoward Well, I'm glad this expert on communicable diseases finally weighed in. We're saved!

RealRonHoward Bill Gates is full of shit. 99.9% of people in the U.S. will not get it.

crecenteb Worldwide free health care would be a good start.

80,000 Coronavirus Cases 2,800 Coronavirus Deaths VERSUS 32,000,000 – 45,000,000 FLU Cases 18,000 – 46,000 FLU Deaths

Now Gates is a Doctor.

I urge Bill Gates to worry about fixing his own computer viruses and leave the medical viruses to the Doctors.

No worries ... Trump said he Ctrl.Alt.Del the problem. It is a hoax... until the blue screen comes to your local PC

But The Impeached President of The United States Of America Said The Coronavirus Is A Hoax Just Yesterday! Then Why Did He Cancel A Trip To SE Asia?

Says the guy who’s foundation had a hand in the virus’s creation. What a 🤡

It causes loss of money

Gotta love Bill Gates. He’s one CEO who actually uses his fame and fortune for the betterment of society.

All that money and still can be a decent haircut. FFS

Yes people you have been lied to. Please read

This idiot created the corona virus, he owns the patent to it before it existed. His big in deadly vaccination and Monsanto GMO seeds, all for his Eugenistic depopulation agenda. Don’t buy his BS and don’t take the Vaccines Sheeple!

He knows it's the world banks driving this due to the Pandemic Bonds. Yes people this virus is just like the common flu

Bill Gates is correct. Better developed countries should help their citizens deal with the virus. Better developed countries must also help lesser developed countries deal with an epidemic like the coronavirus and work to prevent it from happening again, both at home and abroad.

Get Face Mask Against Corona Virus Now, Protect Yourself From All Viruses:

No doubt 2020 is becoming a once in a century dempanic.

Why did Bill Gates meet w Jeffrey Epstein despite his past? Why is there a picture of them together? ReleaseTheNames

Has Bill Gates or CNN ever heard of SARS & MERS? MAGA

You should be so lucky !!!✔

They can’t..... they too busy trying to save the world from nazis?!? Oh and bigots and racist. Get ur priorities right.... 🤣

No he did not. Read what he actually wrote and delete this Tweet. He said is is behaving like the kind of virus that might become a once in a century pandemic. He never said it already was a once in a century pandemic. Is it that hard to properly quote an article?

Yet

Bill Gates needs to speak with realDonaldTrump and VP and LindseyGrahamSC , and stop worrying so much. Oh, and FoxNews !!

And there’s trump calling it a “hoax”

freepeeper I've heard Gates has something to do with this virus. Something that happened in a lab, some time ago...I wonder if that is true

wmiddelkoop georgevanhouts

Rember this...

I... really don't think an old guy who revolutionised technology knows enough about viruses and medicine to have a valid, advertised claim/opinion about a virus.

Does he have any advice on how to avoid the millions of Americans without insurance or access to medical treatment when the virus spreads? I was gonna build a moat around my gated community and make a breathing mask out of hundred dollar bills, any other tips?

I'm sure he's talking about the Chinese leaders. Right?

Umm, Just like climate change, these guys come out of the woodwork and urges 'leaders', plural, to solve the problem. No, call Comrade Xi. Tell HIM to prevent it from happening again. While you're at it, let him know you're very unhappy with pollution in China.

In this age of emerging antibiotic-resistant superbugs, these viruses will soon litter our lives like internet explorer

How?

Nobody took zombies serious either! This is actually rush Limbaugh waiting for his OxyContin

But this is just like the flu virus, it goes away in a few days if you get it. Most of us are gonna be just fine even if we get it.

Здається значення Coronvirus дещо перебільшують. Але це навіть добре. Тримає людство в тонусі.

Everyone relax. What could go wrong when Trump and Pence are in charge. Two people who have no patience with facts and science.

All Bill has to do is keep an unwanted virus from replicating. How hard can it be?

😨😵

Jangan ajak pak dhe kae. 😅

This Eugenics loving Satan worshipper STARTED IT ALL.... are Nothing But FakeNewsHysteria.......

Are we ever going to get rid of this monster that has permeated into our world and is causing more harm all over.

Yeah, but he did this a year ago before the virus was even 'discovered'.

If he didn’t invent computers this never would of happened. Guilty much BILL?!

Didn’t read this and Gates is brilliant but is there anyone that really doesn’t agree with this sentiment? Isn’t this logical sense at minimum?

Easier to say

OMG he's in on the hoax!

Bill Gatez is a hOaX? Ammi right?

And also to make him a sandwich right now

If billionaires stopped finding the campaign's of idiots, it probably wouldn't be as bad as it is.

Because...he’s losing profits bc people are not in the factories in China.

shrewst BillionairesShouldNotExist

Shame on all Democrats!! They have turned into disgusting human beings!! This is me, holding myself back, until after President Trump is re-elected!!!

'Leaders' You're talking to a wall Bill.😳😳

Just like global warming was He's the king of trying to create fear and profit off of it.

I hope Bill's incorrect. The CDC estimated that more than a half of a million people died from H1N1 in 09 and that 80% of them were under 65. The news thus far seems to indicate that 80% of the people that this virus kills are over 60 and suffer from an underlying condition.

Hmmmm

Good thing we’re early into this century. A weight off my mind.

lopezobrador_

Wake me up when he publicly calls out Trump for causing the pandemic for de funding and hollowing out our scientists, medical experts and other competent leaders who would have taken care of this in cooperation with China.

Why can't we invest this much energy into the fight against menopause?

Tax cuts?

老毕是明白人。

We got a wall to build, Scooter.

Who cares

Have been to China many times (since 99).. for starters have them close down the live produce markets. What else is brewing in there?

Windows XP killed more than this virus ever will. Get over yourself

he should run.

Your focus should be on China. It originated there and China refused CDC help since the beginning on January.

im rich so i have opinions on everything.....yawn

House passes bill to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes and tobacco productsHouse passes bill to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes and tobacco products; President Trump's administration opposes the bill, which is unlikely to pass in the Senate. Wasn't trump all for tgis before? Let me guess, he lied again. Need one more reason to loathe Republicans & Trump? Lobbyists for the vaping/flavored tobacco products, are major donors to the Trump/GOP campaigns and many of Trump's base are end users. This is a prima facie case of the public good being destroyed by political connivance. Obviously the E-Cigarette lobby hasn’t spread enough money around Congress. Hopefully, Congress keeps regular cigarettes legal. They are healthier.
