While he did not explicitly name anypolitical leadersGates said that "should have done more" back in early February when we became aware that the virus was extending. He believes we are now beyond the point where we can hope quicklycontain the pandemic The way countries like South Korea have.

The tests must be organized and hierarchical and it's super urgent ... The tests are everything. This is how you know if you need more, or if you start getting to the point where you can relieve it. "

The doors were calm and reassuring throughout the conversation, admitting that, even if no one really kept his previous warnings, it is "positive" that thecoronavirus crisis "Should we gather" and "let's get out of that."
