'But we have a lack of coordinated effort,' Gates said. 'That's just the truth across the United States.'
Melinda Gates—co-founder of the Gates Foundation, a philanthropic organization which has donated over $300 million to fight COVID-19—said in a Thursday interview with's"Women Rule" series that she'd give President Donald Trump's administration a grade of D-minus for its response to the coronavirus epidemic.
"You know, if we were doing the things that the exemplar countries are doing, like Germany, we would be testing," she continued."We would be testing first healthcare workers and then the most vulnerable. And we'd be doing contact tracing, and we would be able to start thinking about slowly, slowly reopening places in society in safe and healthy ways."
Ignoring such communities, she says, sets up the likelihood of resurgences that could potentially affect communities that weren't as impacted by the epidemic's first wave.
