Bill Gates sharply criticises world leaders: Coronavirus, the world's greatest destruction

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said today in an interview for the BBC that the world was not ready for the co-founder and criticised governments that did not do enough to prepare for a global pandemic.

He has criticised the leaders of the government in the world after not investing in tests and protection equipment faster, when the virus first emerged in China.

Gates said very few countries will receive a mark of 10, for the way they responded to the threat posed by the disease that swept the world in just three months.

As a lack of preparation, Gates said we are in unexplored territories. Gates told “journalist BBC Breakfast”, Charlie Stayt, that the crisis response was not good enough.

There was a time when I was saying this was the greatest possible destruction the world faced. We'll definitely look back and we'd like to have invested more so that we could have all the diagnostics, medicines and vaccines quickly. And then there's the time when the virus appeared, what were the tests prepared? Did countries think to increase the capacity of intensive care units and ventilators? There will be time for those after death. Very few countries will receive a mark of 10. Now we are where we are, we didn't simulate this, we didn't practice, so we find ourselves in unexplored territories.”, Gates said.

Gates, who is the second richest person in the world, identified the lack of investments behind lack of testing, which has prevented countries from diagnosing the coronary in time. He added:

“Investments could ensure that the diagnosis was immediately available, medicine in less than half the time, vaccine at less than half the time, most of those investments were not made. Now we're looking and it takes a lot more time to collect these pieces, even though scientists are doing heroic work. ”
