I am happy to wear a mask, wear gloves. But I will now reduce my freedom much past April 30th. First.. we need to stop listening to China. They were quite wrong about their numbers and a lot of things. Second we need to find a pill or treatment to slow deaths. Third we need to get antibody tests out here much more than testing for the virus. Plasma from those who are immune can be used as a treatment.

I have zero problem with sports being destroyed over this. Couldn't happen to a nicer industry.

Wearing masks, checking temperatures, not doing large events... how is that a problem? Seems a small price to pay to get America back to work.

If people feel like doing so, they should go back to work now. Where does the authority come from to prohibit them from working in the first place?

Has gates ever been right about anything other than nerdy old computers?
Outside of computers, sounds like he's got a big mouth and not much more.
The new Al Gore.

He keeps repeating the same mantra, vaccine vaccine vaccine.
To anyone who has worked in the IT field over the decades (like my husband), the name Bill Gates is MUD. Is he now trying to make amends for all the people he has hurt in the past? Doubt that.

Does he think he is now going to Save the World? Be very afraid of people who have that complex, as Gates seems to have.

People in China were welded into their homes. I do not consider China a beacon on the hill, and we should absolutely not follow what they do.

If my workplace is closed can't do it. But I am with you... this entire thing is so anti american.

What happened to live free or die?

Just more of the toxic effects of the baby boomer generation who lives and breathes by pure selfish emotion.

Gates is an influencer here. He's telling you thermometers at work, regimentation, limits on movement and assembly. And he doesn't work alone:

"Fauci and Birx BOTH Have Big-Money Bill Gates Conflicts of Interest"
https://nationalfile.com/president-t...t-of-interest/
Your source is a well known tin foil hat conspiracy theory source. On a slow day, they continue to beat the Clinton sex trafficking drum and are 9/11 Truthers. Oh yeah, they are also anti vaccine. And of course support Trump who is not responsible for the click bait, for profit kooks that he attracts, no diff than any politician.

I think he wants to control it, not save it. Every interview I've seen of his includes vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine.

Every "nonprofit" he invests in and is a founding member of has a goal for vaccination.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation: um, obvious? World's LARGEST vaccine distributor
GAVI (the Vaccine Alliance): Gates Foundation pledged US$ 750 million to set up Gavi in 1999 (direct partners include B&MGF and WHO and the World Bank)
ID2020 (vaccine tracking systems): Gates is a founding partner(direct partners include Microsoft, GAVI and the Rockefeller Foundation)
The Global Fund (vaccination in 3rd world countries): B&MGF are "key partners" and have contributed $2.24 BILLION

He is the 2nd largest donor to the World Health Organization. He out donates other COUNTRIES. So basically? He controls the World Health Organization. Let that sink in.

Know what the top threat against health is according to the WHO?
People who aren't vaccinated.

Gates is currently looking to build 7 vaccine manufacturing plants.

Huh. Think there's a CONNECTION here?
