Bill Gates slammed the U.S.’s coronavirus “testing insanity” on CNN, which he said had caused the country to fall behind the rest of the world.
Said Gates: “It’s mind-blowing that you can’t get the government to improve the testing because they just want to say how great it is.”
He added: “No other country has the testing insanity because they won’t talk about fixing it, because they think they need to just keep acting like they’ve done a competent job.”
