    Billionaire Bill Gates Advocates for Shutdown of Small Businesses, Claims COVID Impact Will Continue Into 2022


    How about we just shutdown Microsoft!?


    Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he is all in favor of shutting down bars and restaurants to deal with the coronavirus.
    Gates was interviewed Sunday on CNN. Host Jake Tapper asked Gates to offer his thoughts on whether strict lockdowns should remain in force.
    “Mask-wearing has essentially no downside,” Gates said. “They’re not expensive.”

    As for many endangered small businesses, Gates said they should remain shuttered.
    “Bars and restaurants — in most of the country — will be closed as we go into this wave, and I think, sadly, that’s appropriate,” Gates said.
    “Depending upon how severe it is, the decision about schools is much more complicated because the benefits are pretty high, the amount of transmission is not the same as in restaurants and bars, so trade-offs will have to be made.”
    Gates said that he views the next few months as a crucial time.
    “The next four to six months really call on us to do our best, because we can see that this will end and you don’t want somebody that you love to be the last to die of coronavirus.”
    Asked about when life will return to pre-pandemic normal, he said that the summer of 2021 will be a beginning.
    “Certainly by the summer we’ll be way closer to normal than we are now,” he said.

    “But even through early 2022, unless we help other countries get rid of this disease, and we get high vaccination rates in our country, the risk of reintroduction will be there and, of course, the global economy will be slowed down, which hurts America economically in a pretty dramatic way.”
    “So we’ll have starting in the summer we’ll have about nine months where a few things, like big public gatherings, will still be restricted, but we can see now that somewhere between 12 and 18 months, we have a chance, if we manage it well, to get back to normal,” he added.

    Monday marked the first day in which Americans were given a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech.
    “I feel hopeful today,” said Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, according to USA Today.

    This jerk is NOT a doctor therefore NO ONE should be listening to this fucking globalist!

      That's the way it should work. That's better than your idea that the government should confiscate their wealth. The liberal elite has convinced other liberals that the reason they're a failure in life is because folks like Bill Gates took too big of a piece of the pie and none is left for them.

      Loser mentality.

        What to expect after COVID-19 vaccination: CDC

        “You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection,” per guidance on the CDC web page, updated Dec. 14. “These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days.”

        The CDC says common side effects from coronavirus vaccines include pain and swelling at the injection site, not unlike other vaccines. Vaccinated individuals may experience fever, chills, tiredness and headache as well.

        Though side effects are typically short-lived and resolve on their own within a few days, the federal health agency advised consulting a doctor about over-the-counter meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to resolve pain or discomfort.

        Other steps to alleviate pain include placing a cool wet washcloth over the arm or exercising the arm, per the CDC. To tamp down discomfort from a fever, stay hydrated and dress lightly, the agency says.

          Vaccinations in Canada started this week with the limited supply of the Pfizer vaccine. As soon as the Moderna vaccine is approved it will be received and sent out. The Moderna vaccine doesn't require the same amount of refrigeration as the Pfizer one and is a better option for more remote locations.

                  No, that is a poor excuse for a snappy comeback. Come on Billy, you can do better.
                  Maybe throw in an insult towards either me or my country.

                                I say again. Sometimes silence is a good option.
                                You should maybe make that your mantra.
                                Repeat after me. Silence is a good option. Silence is a good option. Silence is a good option.
                                Just keep saying that until it sinks in. SON!!
