In a newly released interview, philanthropist Melinda Gates warned that some governors are opening their states too quickly.
President Donald Trump on Monday renewed his push for the U.S. to speed up its reopening, but the next morning Anthony S. Fauci, the country’s top infectious-disease expert, cautioned that “consequences could be really serious” if states move too soon.
“You don't reopen when you have an accelerating disease curve,” Gates says. “You reopen after you flattened and when you're starting to see it go down.”On Tuesday, Trump urged California to allow Tesla to reopen a car assembly factory in the state, echoing sentiment expressed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk."California should let Tesla & @elonmusk open the plant, NOW. It can be done Fast & Safely!" Trump tweeted.
Criticizing the U.S. response to the coronavirus outbreak, Gates said the country is “lacking leadership at the federal level” and as a result has endured unnecessary deaths and economic pain.
