Billionaire philanthropist, Bill Gates, has described coronavirus tests and their process as insanity and a complete waste.
According to him, the time it takes to get results makes it a useless exercise.
Gates had, months ago, been under criticism by those who felt he was promoting the making of some vaccine or drug for pecuniary gains.
But he has since cleared the air on that, with his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation having donated hundreds of millions of dollars to treatment and vaccine research for Covid-19.
In an interview with CNBC, he sought a new way of handling COVID-19.
He said, “The simplest thing, which has to do with such insanity, is you should not reimburse somebody for getting a test that it takes more than 48 hours to get the result back. That test is a complete waste. And to all these numbers about how much we test, the majority is just complete waste.”
