Bill Gates explains why most sports are going to be gone a lot longer than fans realize

  • Bill Gates thinks that sports will be sidelined due to the COVID-19 crisis for longer than most fans realize.
  • In an interview with Trevor Noah on “The Daily Show,” the Microsoft co-founder said “the chance of mass spread [at sporting events] is quite large” and implied that they’ll be one of the last societal norms to be reintroduced after the pandemic.
  • Many local and state officials, who will likely make the decisions regarding when sports can return, seem to believe that organized athletics won’t recommence until late fall “at least.”
  • And even though Dr. Anthony Fauci believes that there’s a chance the ‘bubble’ idea pro sports leagues have considered could work, the plan is impossible without the availability of mass testing for COVID-19.

Sports fans are itching for their favorite leagues to recommence after the coronavirus pandemic shuttered the entire world of athletics last month.

But some of the most impressive minds on the planet think the return of sports will take a lot longer than many die-hards realize.

In an interview with Trevor Noah on “The Daily Show,” Bill Gates shared his thoughts on what measures will be necessary for the United States — and the rest of the world — to move past the current crisis and regain a sense of normalcy. And unfortunately for sports fans, his outlook on the prospects of a speedy revival of professional athletics are not particularly promising.

The Microsoft co-founder said that he’s hopeful the spread will be curtailed within the next few months. But he also stressed that sporting events will likely be the last of societal norms to return due to the high risk of widespread contagion in a close range.

    ‘Founder of Microsoft’ my foot. It was a spin-off of IBM when they busted that up. Bill Gates-of-Hell is the ‘founder’ of Microsoft just about as much as Zuckerturd was the ‘founder’ of Face Book. Face Book (and the internet itself) came from DARPA.
    That he was on that pap-smear of a show ‘The Daily Show’ kind of tells you what level of BS ‘programming’ this was, doesn’t it?
    They want the Sheople to believe Bill Gate-of-Hell and Fraudci, his little girl friend, have somehow been appointed Dictators of the World. and that you, the little peon, will say ‘how high’ when these two say ‘jump!’
    Wake up! This whole COVID thing is a PLAN-demic!
