Melinda Gates Orders Governors to Slow Down Reopening States: They’re “Moving Too Fast”

Melinda Gates urges governors to slow down the reopening of states across America

Melinda Gates has warned that governors who are reopening their states must slow down otherwise the country may experience a surge of new coronavirus cases.

“I think there are a few who are moving too fast,” Gates said in a newly released interview filmed last Thursday.

“I think we need to go very, very slowly with reopening this economy,” she warned.

“There are places that will be possible to do it,” Gates said.

But she warned: “This isn’t just oh, one day you wake up and you open up a state. You’re gonna see rebound all over the place in the United States.”

Yahoo Finance reports: The Trump administration released a set of conditions for coronavirus containment last month that it recommends states meet before they reopen, including a 14-day downward trajectory in new cases or positive test rates. However, many states that remain short of that benchmark have started to reopen or will do it soon, among them Kentucky, Ohio, and Utah, the Associated Press reported on Thursday.

“You don’t reopen when you have an accelerating disease curve,” Gates says. “You reopen after you flattened and when you’re starting to see it go down.”

“It’s pretty simple in terms of when you look at the graphs and you know what to do,” she adds.

On Tuesday, Trump urged California to allow Tesla to reopen a car assembly factory in the state, echoing sentiment expressed by Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk. “California should let Tesla & @elonmusk open the plant, NOW. It can be done Fast & Safely!” Trump tweeted.

The White House recently declined to take up guidelines written by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for how schools, restaurants, and other institutions can safely reopen, the AP reported on Thursday.

Gates made the remarks during a conversation with Yahoo Finance editor-in-chief Andy Serwer that aired in an episode of Yahoo Finance’s “Influencers with Andy Serwer,” a weekly interview series with leaders in business, politics, and entertainment.

Criticizing the U.S. response to the coronavirus outbreak, Gates said the country is “lacking leadership at the federal level” and as a result has endured unnecessary deaths and economic pain.

“To have 50 state-grown solutions is inefficient, it makes no sense, and it’s costing people their lives,” she says.

Last month, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a plan to reopen the economy in coordination with other West Coast states; and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said he would work with six nearby states on a reopening plan. Seven governors from midwestern states also said last month that they would coordinate their reopening plans.

“Luckily, you’re seeing many governors step up and not only do the right thing for their state, but they’re taking regional approaches now with other governors,” she says.

“So they’re looking at … who are the exemplars — who’s done well on this,” she adds. “They’re talking to each other.”

  2. Theyre all desperate to get total control over the while planet before Trump gets total control over them and their underground activities

    • Sorry, I just don’t see Trump doing anything about these people. He just handed them trillions?

      • Where did you read that? The trillions come from a bill that was written by Dems. Trump doesnt get to vote on it but he does get to veto it, which he will, it’s disastrous bill.

  3. Get used to it.. Gates and more have been calling the shots for a while.. now it’s just out in the open. Mandatory chipping, multiple rounds of vaccinations.. coming soon. Trillions to the wealthy overlords.

  7. Now Gov Newsom of Calif is saying we may stay in lockdown thru the summer – over my dead body! I need medical attention and no doctors around me are even open. So much for letting people get healthy, if I don’t get medidcal attention soon I will be very, very sick and will be permanently disabled. I’m 65 y.o. for crying out loud, old people need doctors but they are all closed, even dentists!! They are afraid of going to prison due to governor Gruesome.
