No, Bill Gates is not responsible for the coronavirus. The current outbreak has sparked rumors, false alarms, and conspiracy theories. We separate fact from fiction:

You can catch the coronavirus off packages mailed from China. The CDC actually addressed this one. There is “very low risk” of this happening, the agency says, and no confirmed reports of it.

According to official accounts, so far, 427 people have died from this new coronavirus out of more than 20,704 confirmed cases -- or about a 2% mortality rate. One way to identify false information, Taylor says, is to look for such germs of truth, with vague theories and mentions of authority or research, without any details. “The closer you look, the more shaky these theories become,” he says.
