An actual billionaire that understands science and facts.
He's estimating the length of shutdown needed at six to ten weeks, provided there's an increase of testing etc.


Bill Gates says the US missed its chance to avoid coronavirus shutdown and businesses should stay closed

“The U.S. is past this opportunity to control (COVID-19) without shutdown,” Gates said during a TED Connects program broadcast online. [www.bloomberg.com]
“We did not act fast enough to have an ability to avoid the shutdown.”

“It’s January when everybody should’ve been on notice,” Gates added. The virus was first discovered in December in China."

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....Talk is Cheap.

All I want to hear from the mega-rich is how much money they are giving to research, how many people they are financially supporting during the shut-down and/or how they are financing the production of more respirators, masks and other critical supplies.

Sean Penn was on the news saying how the military needs to intervene.

blah, blah, blah...What I need is do-nothing Hollywood ToolBags telling us what to do....give me a break.

Take a look at Haiti if you want to see a place that Sean Penn "helped"...

Dear Hollywood, Pro Sports, Rock Stars and MegaRich Corporate Hacks - Close your mouths until you open your wallets.

....if you can't handle the latter, then just do the former.

That being said....Doctors without Borders is an outstanding charity, if anyone is interested.

Read the articles.. [thehill.com]
He's donated $100 million already, Has a foundation that is acquiring testing.

On top of all his other philanthropic endeavors.. Educate yourself, in the time it took to type.. "blah blah blah etc" you could have had the facts.

There is too much stupidity and lack of real information. Bill Gates has used more of his riches on world health than most. Asking some people on here to educate themselves is like asking POTUS to believe in basic science. This is getting worse because of incompetance and people are dying.

Yes Sara …
we should all share a thought for those trying so hard to save others …

Absolutely - the stories here about the lack of personal protection equipment supplied to our health workers are appalling and, if true, a total shame on our country. At 8 pm this evening, the nation clapped and banged pots and pans in a gesture of thanks to those brave workers, who are thought to have a bigger viral load through repeated exposure to the virus. Sickening stories too about nurses being thrown out of their rented and/or shared accommodation because they are seen as posing a health risk to others.

People, can we please turn down the politics out of respect for BV & what he is doing here by providing us a forum? Personally, I have some views but don't/won't put them here. There is enough pain & suffering in the world under normal circumstances. Now that is exponentially worse. Let's please try to stick with the facts not opinion that way no one gets offended or hurt.

I wonder.....
With the worlds worst pandemic in living memory growing more devastating by the day and looking at what other music stars are doing online to help lighten people’s days......do the worlds greatest rock n roll band, with all their wealth, their power and their global reach, really want history to look back and say “What did the greatest rock n roll band in the world contribute?” and for the answer to be written.......”They did nothing....they gave nothing back for free”
........yes I wonder ?

Of course it is their free choice, but I do wonder if that would be what they would want.
