Bill Gates: China did many things right and their criticism over COVID-19 is a distraction

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said “China did many things right at the beginning like any country where a virus emerges, and their criticism was a distraction. It does not affect how we act today”.

He further said, “ the focus should be on fixing testing, finding a vaccine and minimising economic losses”.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaking outside No 10 for the first times since recovering from the virus said “ we are now beginning to turn the tide on the disease” and refused to “throw away all the effort and sacrifice of the British people and risk a second peak which could lead to economic disaster. He warned this is the moment of maximum risk as he urges the UK not to lose patience with the lockdown.

Mr. Johnson said the UK has so far collectively shielded our NHS and flattened the peak – but he could not yet say when or which restrictions would be lifted to ease lockdown and added: “ the government would make decisions with maximum transparency”.

The PM returned to work on Sunday after more than three weeks off sick when he was diagnosed with the virus a month ago and was admitted to St Thomas’ Hospital in central London on 5 April and spend a week there, including three nights in intensive care.
