Bill Gates believes Coronavirus tests are a ‘complete waste.’ According to the Billionaire, the amount of time it takes for test results to come back means they don’t achieve the purpose for which they were carried out, which is timely isolation of the patient before the spread of the disease begins.
According to Bill Gates, people need to get results back sooner so that they’re able to “change their behaviour so they’re not infecting other people.”
Gates said in an interview with CNBC “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”
