Bill Gates suggests lockdown measures could continue into 2022
2020-12-14
Video
[Post Millenium] Bill Gates said in a CNN interview with Jake Tapper Sunday morning that coronavirus-related lockdown measures could continue well into the year 2022.
Perhaps in Blue states, but even there the natives have been engaging in widespread spontaneous civil disobedience — and that’s even before the coming of warm weather and vaccination-induced herd immunity. Vaccinations are scheduled to start today for frontline medical workers and retirement home residents, donchaknow.
Speaking about California Governor Gavin Newsom's latest lockdown orders shuttering businesses across the state, Tapper noted that "there are a lot of governors who oppose bringing back these lockdown orders and forcing businesses to close. He then asked the Microsoft founder and multi-billionaire "what do you think?"

"Well certainly mask-wearing has essentially no downsides," Gates asserted. "Bars and restaurants in most of the country will be closed as we go into this wave, and I think sadly that's appropriate."

"You don't want somebody you love to be the last to die of coronavirus," Gates stated.

Gates asserted that schools, however, should be treated differently due to the low transmission rate among children, suggesting that "trade-offs will have to be made."

Tapper then asked Gates when he thinks life will fully return to normal with "no masks, no social distancing, no other protective measures necessary."
Then the Globalist Tick reveals:
"Certainly by the summer we'll be way closer to normal than we are now," Gates said, but added that the population could still be subject to coronavirus-related restrictions by early 2022 "unless we help other countries get rid of this disease and we get high vaccination rates in our country.

#22  Libre Office. It's the replacement for Open Office and it's free.

#21  Open Office is good but... if you are outputting something in Microsoft Document format look at it in MS Doc before sending it to others.
Sometimes it doesn't look the same in M$S doc.

#18  Bought Mrs. Uluque a laptop of her own recently. Since she no longer uses my old desktop, she won't complain when I convert it to LINUX. Been thinking about doing that for a while. Guess I'll have to update my Rantburg cookie...

Anybody have any suggestions for LINUX word processor software?

And, yeah, skroow you, Bill.

#14  AP has "debunked" Ivermectin the same way it did a similar drug - hydroxchloroquine - There are "no gold standard studies showing it is safe and effective".

I guess the vaccine studies are all "gold standard"? Or are well all in too big a hurry for 'gold standard' studies?

#10  FOESAD brother Gates. Who cares about your opinions?

#9  Thanks Bill! While Bill and Melinda jet around the world in their private jets to rub elbows and kiss ass with the world's power elite, we can't even go to our local hash house for a sit down meal.

#6  Interesting comment if true. Linux? I used to use Slackware, then Gentoo, I was a masochist. Now using mint on an ancient laptop or xUbuntu on a RasPi and a BSD based OS on my firewall router

#5  So Bill when are you going to disinfect Windows?
Should it be on lockdown into 2022?
Since I am typing this comment on Linux I have no damn trouble with a shutdown like that Bill.
Are you listening Gates?

#4  Try this on for size: theree is a generic medication already widely used in Africa that PREVENTS 99% of all cases from getting the COVID, it also prevents hospitalization in >99% of cases if administered upon first deteection, and prevent >95% of cases already in the hospital from progressing to the ICU. Even better, its a SINGLE DOES, and its a pill. And its been around nearly 40+ years so its well known to be safe in almost all cases. The latest reports of multiple real-would studies involving hundres, and thousands of participans PROVES that it reduces the number of cell-associated viral DNA by 99.8 % in 24 hours.

Ivermectin. Start widely distributing that. Sopt the CDC and US Health swamp from deliberately ignoring it - because the swamp wants this to continue so they can consolidate power.

IVERMECTIN. Do it, demand it NOW. No need for rushing a possibly harmful and definitely expensive vaccine (the government is paying millions to Buig Pharma) when we have an effective safe treatment/prophylactive medication thats cheap and widely available.

Call your congressperson and DEMAND that NIH, CDC and the Fuaci Fascists be force to admit the truth of this medication, and start making it the preferred treatment, and making it widespread. The Senate already hear top doctors testifying for this last week.

FORCE THEM TO ACT NOW. No need for masks, distancing, or lockdowns when we have a curative treatment that is as simple as taking a SINGLE PILL.

#3  Fuck You Bill, and all your billionaire friends. You want to lock down? Fine. Start with yourself and your companies, and the Congressmen you are renting.
