Bill Gates is funding a new at-home COVID-19 testing programme and it's already testing 300 people a day

Bill Gates has announced he's helping to fund a new COVID-19 scanning program in Seattle.

Gates said SCAN is already scanning 300 people per day, and it will open up for applications from the public. Microsoft billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates is funding a new "disease surveillance" programme that samples the Seattle population for COVID-19., Gates said it involves sending Seattle citizens self-swab tests they can use at home to collect and send nasal samples to a lab, even if they are not showing symptoms.

He wrote: ""As a surveillance program, SCAN's goal isn't to test every person or serve as a replacement for medical care. The test results and a bunch of other information — age, gender, race, zip code, and underlying health conditions — will be used by researchers, data modelers, and public health officials to examine COVID-19's spread and identify at-risk demographics.

That's great 😀❤️

SAI No thank you

Gates is the guy!!!

People live with lots of germs that can make them sick. Staphylococcus, streptococcus, viruses, skin, etc. nobody is going to make a vaccine at the speed Gates does. The vaccine may be worst than the virus. How much is Gates paying his 300 guinea pigs that can cost their life?

Thats a big number... Multi.. people are now living postively with the virus in them... Only that they don't show signs and seem to be living fine

😡😡😡😡😡
