Bill Gates: If I were president, this is what I would do now to fight coronavirus
Catherine Clifford
If Bill Gates were President of the United States right now, he would prioritize keeping people across America in isolation to "flatten the curve" of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The clear message [would be] that we have no choice to maintain this isolation and that's going to keep going for a period of time," Bill Gates told TED curator Chris Anderson on Tuesday. "In the Chinese case, it was like six weeks, so we have to prepare ourselves for that and do it very well."
According to Gates, "If you're doing isolation well [nationally], within about 20 days you'll see those numbers [of new cases] really change," i.e., go down, "…and that is a sign that you're on your way."

Coronavirus: Bill Gates predicted pandemic in 2015
Microsoft co-founder warned a virus like 1918 Spanish flu would spread “very quicklyâ€
As the coronavirus spreads with a dangerous and relentless momentum, many Americans, including political leaders, have been shocked over how the pandemic has shut down the world economy, stretched hospitals to the breaking point, and transformed everyday living.

I don't trust him, he seems to be into population control, seems fairly left wing. Maybe liberals want long-isolation, conservatives want to get back to work as soon as possible. We are playing it by ear, maybe we will find out in a few days, what is next for us to do. Trump wanted the economy opened back up by Easter, so bing.com tells me, that is April 12th.
I didn't know about this below until I heard about it the other day. It's like one of those things, one doesn't know whether to believe it or not, is that urban legend??

In a lengthy interview with Bill Moyers released today, Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates reveals the inspiration for his funding of pro-abortion population control measures.
Responding to a question by Moyers on how he came to fund “reproductive issues†Gates answered, “When I was growing up, my parents were always involved in various volunteer things. My dad was head of Planned Parenthood. And it was very controversial to be involved with that. And so it’s fascinating. At the dinner table my parents are very good at sharing the things that they were doing. And almost treating us like adults, talking about that.â€
In the interview Gates says he is moved by measurable progress and on “safe birth reproductive family planning issues†he says.
