Bill Gates: Coronavirus may be ‘once-in-a-century pathogen we’ve been worried about’


Bill Gates says coronavirus may be '''once-in-a-century pathogen'''

Gates and his wife, Melinda, founded The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000 to help improve world health and combat extreme poverty. The foundation announced Feb. 5 that it would donate $100 million to help find treatments and expand testing for the virus, particularly for poorer populations.

According to Gates, COVID-19 poses a serious threat to the world because it’s far more deadly and contagious than many other deadly viruses.
“First, it can kill healthy adults in addition to elderly people with existing health problems,” he wrote. “Second, Covid-19 is transmitted quite efficiently. The average infected person spreads the disease to two or three others — an exponential rate of increase.” World health leaders say the disease is spread by people who are mildly ill or don’t show any symptoms at all, making it harder to contain and more contagious than other types of viruses.

Fellow billionaire and Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett has also called Gates his “science advisor” and added that he has discussed the coronavirus with him. Buffett said Gates was “bullish” on the long-term outlook for a universal prevention of the disease.

“The regular surgical masks that you might buy at the drug store probably are effective for half an hour, and after that, they become wet from your breath, then they’re much less effective,” said Dr. Stephen Blatt, medical director for infectious diseases at TriHealth. “The longer you wear them, the less effective they become.”
Dr. Senu Apewokin, an infectious-disease specialist at UC Health, said that while face masks can provide a temporary barrier against viruses, “we worry more about influenza than the coronavirus. The things we would do to prevent against the coronavirus are the very things we would do against influenza, washing hands, using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, avoid others who are ill, if you are sick, stay home.”




Coronavirus, flu prevention: Face masks offer little protection

I'd take any statistics with a grain of salt at this moment.

Influenza and mumps has been long standing, so you can say it's one in X number, they are long established number.

CHANCE ITSELF WILL NOT DIDCTATE WHO GETS WHAT.

Stats are done after the fact, always always always. But it never says who exactly.

1.5 to 3, so who gets it? One is a carrier, who is?

And why should the rate matter? It not like it will run out of fumes. It maybe slower, but certainly doesn't say its reach is limited.

Wash your hands, but don't over do it.

I mean if you don't live near multicultural places, small town and all... I be looking at coyotes stealing your stuff..

The point is, and it's hard not to be sway either way. Stay current is the least anyone can do.

Want to know why border security is important? Any of those 1155 Chinese Nationals could have been a carrier for COVID-19.

The new battle to fight the Corona Virus will not be won in the political area. Only science and established medical procedures will stop this.

This is most likely just an attempt by the police to identify meth users, but then again you can never be certain.

The best line of defence against the Corona Virus is your own body's immune system.

Don't smoke, eat less sugar, exercise more, eat healthier.

Some medical professionals are now saying that excess use of hand sanitizers degrades the PH levels in your skin making you more more permeable to viruses.

Not only that but the use of "Anti bacterial" hand soap has lead to bacterial that is more resistant to treatment. Proper washing with plain hand soap and hot water is all that is needed.
