Melinda Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is critical of the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Melinda Gates has a strong take when it comes to the Trump Administration’s response to the coronavirus crisis.
Melinda Gates, along with her husband Bill, the co-founder and former CEO of Microsoft, established their foundation 20 years ago to principally address global healthcare issues. Both have been concerned about the risk of infectious diseases for years. In 2015 Bill Gates gave a TED Talk specifically warning of the risk of a pandemic. “If we had a good testing and tracing system like Germany has, we would have started to reopen slowly more places in the economy,” she said.
“The 300 million specifically is going for diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines making sure that the science is pushing forward and that that will come out as quickly as possible with industry,” Gates said.“Luckily, you're seeing many governors step up and not only do the right thing for their state, but they're taking regional approaches now with other governors,” she said.
