Bill Gates calls for a 10-week shutdown in US, says any confusion 'will only extend economic pain'

Gates explained that businesses need to remain shut until the numbers of reported cases start to go down across the country, which, according to him, could take at least 10 weeks.


Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has called for a nationwide shutdown in the US as the number of COVID-19 cases surpassed 2,00,000 in the country.

“Despite urging from public health experts, some states and counties haven’t shut down completely. In some states, beaches are still open; in others, restaurants still serve sit-down meals. This is a recipe for disaster. Because people can travel freely across state lines, so can the virus,” he noted in an op-ed in the Washington Post.

Gates explained that businesses need to remain shut until the numbers of reported cases start to go down across the country, which, according to him, could take at least 10 weeks.

"Any confusion about this point will only extend the economic pain, raise the odds that the virus will return, and cause more deaths," he said.

Gates also called for more testing hoped that a vaccine could be available before the suggested 18-month timeframe.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the US hard. The US has seen a significant rise in cases in the last month, and New York has now become the epicentre of the outbreak.

US President Donald Trump on April 1 warned the country to brace for a "painful" and "tough" two-week period as he extended the nationwide distancing measure to April 30.

Trump also said that more than 100,000 and up to 240,000 Americans could die due to COVID-19, a number which could surge up to millions if guidelines are not followed.

exactly bhai! :D i really feel for them. They have been promised riches but instead got rags in return.
The same fate awaits most of the traders too.....My experience says for every 2-3 successful traders there are 20 who go bankrupt,50 cannot make it in trading,25 are marginal traders, making some money here and losing some there but they keep hoping that some day they will make it big in trading....few may become successful but most will stay alive on hope and stay poor....so don’t think that investmentis bad but trading is way to riches...many will soon find out the truth but that will be too late for them to do anything else in life....

And if you think that investors should invest for less than 1 year time horizon,then you are wrong...investors should invest only money which they can afford to keep aside for next 3 years and buy good scrips with growth and honest managements...To give you an example of 2008 crash,index took 14-16 moths to come to the top but strong stocks did that in 6-8 months....same will happen this time.....

Explained | Why India has relatively lesser number of COVID-19 cases

According to Worldometer - India has one COVID-19 confirmed case and 0.03 deaths for every 1 million population while the global average is 113.2 cases and 5.7 deaths

India has reported 1,637 novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, cases with 45 deaths. The country saw its single biggest jump of 386 cases in the last 24 hours, with Delhi's Markaz Nizamuddin religious gathering contributing most of the cases.

Luv Aggarwal, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, said on April 1 that the rise in cases doesn't represent a national trend. India still is one of very few countries that has reported the lowest number of cases versus its population.

According to Worldometer - India has one COVID-19 confirmed case and 0.03 deaths for every 1 million population while the global average is 113.2 cases and 5.7 deaths.

Bangladesh and Nepal, along with a number of countries in Africa, have comparable numbers to India. This led to many experts wondering why India has so few cases, despite having the world's second largest population and a weak healthcare system. To be sure - COVID-19 is still emerging, things could change in a matter of days. The numbers could look very different.

Not testing enough

India has only tested about 47,951 persons. Capacity utilisation across 126 Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) laboratories so far stands at 38 percent. We also have narrow testing, i.e. we test only those with travel history to affected areas or those who came into contact with a COVID-19 positive case.
ICMR expanded the criteria on March 20 to include symptomatic healthcare workers and family members who are taking care of COVID-19 positive patients. The narrow criteria helps in reducing the burden on the public healthcare system, but clearly India is not testing enough.

Lack of self-assessment tests

The symptoms of COVID-19 like cough, cold, fever and breathlessness are also very common. Most Indians self-medicate or do not see it as a concern. Unless there is popular mechanism to enable people to take self-assessment test on a daily basis, it's difficult to identify cases. These self-assessment tests should be in regional languages.

Lockdown

India is imposing one of the world's largest lockdown, asking people to stay home and practice social distancing. The aim of the lockdown is to cut the possible human to human transmission and reduce the number of cases. These are too early days to judge the impact of the lockdown, but could still playout by helping in reducing number of cases.

BCG vaccination

The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine is now discussed as a possible reason for low COVID-19 cases in India. The vaccine is universally administered in India to protect against tuberculosis. Scientists in US, Europe and Australia have started studying whether BCG vaccine is of any help to protect people against COVID-19.
There are currently no vaccines against COVID-19. BCG is not universally administered in most regions, including US and Europe. Poland is the only European country that is still recommending use of BCG vaccine. "We are awaiting more scientific data on BCG's effectiveness against COVID-19. These studies are interesting because BCG provides protection against tuberculosis, which infect lungs like SARS-COV2" said GVJA Harshavardhan, Director, Viral Vaccines at Bharat Biotech.

Heat and humidity

While there is still no evidence that a rise in heat and humidity will slowdown the transmission of coronavirus, many experts feel it's still possible. "Most viruses will not be able to survive in temperatures beyond 45 degrees, that we know," said K Anand Kumar, Managing Director at Indian Immunologicals.
Kumar, a microbiologist himself, said Indian summer where temperatures soar beyond 45 degrees may act as deterrent against coronaviruses. IML owned by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) produces vaccines for animals and humans.

Less virulent strain

There is a prevalent notion even among certain experts that the coronavirus strain that is circulating in India is a less virulent mutation. Gagandeep Kang, Director of the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute, however rejects this theory.
"The two shared Indian sequences are from two Wuhan returnees at the end of January. They are near identical to sequenced strains from Wuhan. Nothing special here, move on. Trust the right scientists," she tweeted on March 30. But still this theory is a popularly discussed one.
