Bill Gates says six to 10 weeks of hardcore isolation nationwide is now necessary.

[BortSimpson]

There are those of us who think that Bill Gates is a eugenicist (note that his father was the head of "Planned Parenthood"). But whatever you think about that, what exactly is 10 weeks (the upper limit of his 6-10 week range) of hardcore social isolation in the USA going to do? It's unrealistic to think that the entire population is going to stand a minimum of 6 feet away from each other for any length of time (even 1 day), let alone 10 weeks! And even if we assume it would be effective and somehow it happened, how would it be effective if the rest of the world weren't doing the same thing? I mean, unless the virus is 100% killed everywhere on the entire planet (which we'd have no way to know), how can it be eradicated when it can just exist on one surface in the entire planet and then start spreading like wildfire (assuming that it's as contagious as we're being told)?

Plus even if it were killed on every surface on the entire planet, what about all of those "asymptomatic carriers"?

Who died and made him king?

Ya , I'll make the rules here . Gates is not on my list to consult .

I know the dude is a computer egghead, but how does this make him an expert on the CV.

There was a meme mocking Sean Penn giving his opinion about the CV, but going by these standard, Penn is a good actor, thus, like Gates, he must be a virology expert.

Stick to computers, Gates!

War against the virus can be won. Its our great war.

He is kind of a dick and might know more than we think . If there is a real pandemic he likely donated to get it started . He is a wanna be Dr Evil.

[BortSimpson]

Exactly! He's out in the media acting like he's some authority, no doubt because of the money he's donated.

But as we all know, sometimes these people use their donations as a PR campaign to hide their evil. Like Jimmy Saville and his "charitable work" for example.

Somebody told me, this guy has that virus begging for mercy.

Bill Gates effectively has been working on biological Viruses for decades. He is one of the most knowledgeable and reliable experts on them.

That would certainly explain why he hasn't had time to prevent his product from bringing untold numbers of computer viruses into the world's homes.

But given his complete lack of medical training, I find the claim impossible to believe. In fact, that's a major insult to all the world's virologists, and the schools which trained them.

Whens the last time he worked for a computer company? The government broke it up a long time ago and he started working in philanthropy. Do you know what year you are in?

He's a technology advisor to Microsoft right now. Whether that post involves any duties or not, I don't know and you don't either.

Does it negate my point either way? He's not even a retired virologist.

He employs virologists some of the best for his organization the Bill and Melinda gates foundation. He has access to the greatest experience and expertise in the subject.

Well, he does have one on staff--straight from communist China.

I don't see any sign of any others. And he says they "aren't doers", but rather just give grants.

Social isolation isn't good for some industries but the consequences are bad if this virus evolves. Think of it like that scene in trainspotting when he jumps into the grossest toilet with his mouth opened to get the morphine tablet he pooped out.

I will save you two hours.
Every character is absolutely despicable.
The one that you halfway like ends up dying.
There is no character development, no catharsis, and no moral.
But it is put together well.

And there's quality humor sprinkled in. Start at 2:36 if the video below doesn't automatically put you there.

Oh, look. Someone programmed the bot to act like a parrot.
