Melinda Gates is not mincing words regarding the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic -- which as of Monday has killed more than 80,000 Americans. “We are lacking leadership at the federal level in the United States, and it's highly distressing and disappointing,” the co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation told Yahoo Finance in a recent interview. “To have to have 50 state-grown solutions is inefficient. It makes no sense. And it's costing people their lives.” She also told Yahoo Finance that she's not pleased with America's lack of a national testing system for coronavirus. “If we had a good testing and tracing system like Germany has, we would have started to reopen slowly more places in the economy,” she explained. “People wouldn't be struggling so much to put a meal on their table. The lack of action is really causing harm and hurt unnecessarily in this country. And I'm incredibly disappointed to see that.” Do you agree with Melinda and Gates? https://www.foxnews.com/tech/melinda-gates-says-white-house-response-to-covid-19-is-costing-lives.amp
So what does she intend to accomplish with whatever she said? Or is it just words in the wind?
Research and know what their foundation does.
So you can only give your opinion if you intend to kick him out and do his job for him? How about follow her advice? Come up with a national testing plan 2 months ago when that should have been formulated.
Why should I care about she thinks?
You don’t have to. Others may care.
Hasn’t she dedicated her life to eradicating disease? Are we not listening to experts now? Or is it because she’s a woman? Not sure if your problem is her extensive knowledge or her genitals you oppose.
You should create a separate post about that topic.
It was an Oscar worthy performance! I liked her delivery in the video.
Says Melinda with the unethical testing of vaccines in Africa and India. Those two are vile
Yeah, Trump screwed up so bad, that you'll need 7B people to get vaccines that we'll bring now...or in a few years. We can't let people out until then, or they might discover that their immune systems might just work!
This is where the foundations’ money comes in. The Gates better start spending that money. Redistribute the wealth. Get me some.
Get me some San Diego beachfront home...
States asked for this, so now those 50 states should shut up and suck it up
States asked for a complete lack of federal leadership? Even the ones clamoring for "states' rights!" aren't asking for a lack of leadership. The fact that you have human rights doesn't mean we don't need a government, it just constrains what that government can do to you.
Has she said the same about the EU response to Italy and Spain’s COVID situation? Why not just have the UN/WHO in charge of 8 billion solutions if we believe we should be targeting scale instead of locally developed solutions? One size fits all based out of DC would be a disaster of underoptimization.
It's obvious to anyone with half a brain. Boris johnson comes a close second
Even Boris seems sane and measured by comparison.
As bad as Trump has been, I would say he is still a distant second behind Bolsonaro and probably followed by Johnson in third
