Bill Gates says most COVID-19 tests in the US are 'completely garbage' because it takes too long to get results

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Bill Gates says there's one massive problem with COVID-19 tests in the US: results take too long to come back.that the majority of US COVID-19 tests are "completely garbage" and "wasted."

To solve the problem of slow testing, Gates said medical providers shouldn't receive payment for COVID-19 tests unless they can produce results within 48 hours. He also called on Mark Zuckerberg to do more to combat the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories on Facebook.Bill Gates believes one of the biggest roadblocks to effective COVID-19 testing in the US is "stupidity," he said in an interview withSpecifically, Gates said most US tests are "completely garbage" because it takes so long to return results.

The Microsoft founder-turned-philanthropist said he thinks there's a simple solution: Medical providers should only receive payment for tests if they return results within 48 hours. "If you don't care how late the date is and you reimburse at the same level, of course they're going to take every customer. Because they are making ridiculous money," Gates said.

He is correct.

Worse than Vista?

So .....

He's not wrong in this one.

A friend had a test in Houston. It took 2 weeks to get the results that she was positive.

In Germany I got my results emailed to me in like 5 hours.

A lot of tech entrepreneurs stay in tech all their lives, and there's nothing wrong with that. But I'm amazed at BillGates ability to pivot to what matters most in the world.

We need to get elonmusk on it. Seriously....

If there is anything Bill knows about, it’s garbage.

fern_60 He really wants to push his mercury induced vaccines!

He is a gabage himself!

By the time you find out, you've probably infected multitudes.

Bill is going to be one of the guys that just gets crazier the older he gets.

Easy 5g big rona time

It's what it is.

Yes tour absolutely right long time also didn't get results

So Bill, and BI, who has the good tests?

Doctor who?

Dr Gates - where did he get his degree from ?

He is garbage

It's all good BillGates . Just make sure you and your buddies take your own medicine first. I'm sure you will be fine.

He's right. If they wanna make money from the tests, they should provide the results faster.

And there goes the TikTok deal 🤣
