Bill Gates: What Joe Biden should do on his first day in office to stop the coronavirus, if he is elected

Business Insider – by Hilary Brueck

Bill Gates doesn’t skip a beat when imagining how the US might approach the coronavirus pandemic differently if the country were to elect a new president this November.

“If he wins, what do you think Joe Biden should do about the coronavirus, on January 21st?” I asked Gates, during our recent interview

It’s hard to know what the state of the pandemic will be at that date — roughly six months away — and with winter flu season in full swing, “so it’ll have be based on the context at that point,” Gates said, acknowledging that “the fall could be tough,” as more people move indoors, and return to school and work.

Still, the billionaire philanthropist seemed to audibly brighten at the hypothetical scenario. He said that he imagined Biden would “want more expert advice” about what to do during the pandemic, versus Trump who, in 2018, disbanded the unit inside the National Security Council devoted to fighting such global public health threats.

“He’ll appoint, we hope, strong people,” Gates said of Biden. “There are lots of people who are involved in the global response to Ebola and smallpox and polio, who would love to help out the US bring this thing to a close.”

Two of the biggest problems that Gates identified in the country’s current coronavirus response are the testing system, which often does not get results back fast enough to be useful, and the fact that “the US is the worst of the rich countries, in terms of mask usage.”

Those are both sticking points that Gates expects Biden might better address.

“He’s been good on mask-wearing,” Gates said. “He understands the inequities of the current testing system.”
