Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation co-founder Bill Gates says that the US should shut down the entire country for a short period of time to control the spread of the coronavirus and predicts that the number of cases will peak in late April.
According to him, his faith in the lockdown of countries that are infected with the virus is based on the model the Chinese used in flattening the curve of the spread of the coronavirus that’s spreading fear and havoc around the world.
Gates had warned of a global pandemic of the scope COVID-19 has back in 2015. It is not clear whether the world health organization and world leaders took his warnings as seriously as they should have.
The New York Times reports that China on Thursday reported no new local infections for the first time since the coronavirus crisis began three months ago, reaching a milestone in its battle with the deadly outbreak that has upended daily life and economic activity around the world.
As governments in Italy, the United States and elsewhere grapple with the pandemic, China has hailed its success as evidence of what can be achieved when a vast, top-down bureaucracy that brooks no dissent is mobilized in pursuit of a single target.
If Thursday’s numbers are more than a statistical blip, it would represent a remarkable turnaround for the Chinese government, which drew widespread public outrage when officials initially concealed and mismanaged the outbreak, even punishing the doctors who sought to raise the alarm.
