well firstly at the bill and melinda gates foundation that he runs with his wife has spent billions of dollars over the last decade on fighting infectious deceases but last october the foundation contributed to a pandemic preparedness exercise by the johns hopkins university in the u.k. and this took place just weeks before the outbreak of the of the novel coronavirus and who had this then that some conspiracy theorist to believe that not only did he know about the virus but he had some hand in creating it and he had done so to me. money off of vaccines and the 2nd story is from earlier this year bill gates was taking part in an online q. in a talking about the potential of the future vaccine against the coronavirus he was speaking he was speaking about a yeah. i have to have a hypothetical digital satish because now that would be a certificate to certify who had gotten the vaccine or not this was then taken by sun to mean some kind of tracking device and this story was then spread by by far right conspiracy theorists like alex jones that you mentioned before it was even on fox news in

armstrong, who gates had sent to catch him and bring him back, now caught up with him. he was hurt and wasn't going to go anywhere. but he was unwilling to go back to headquarters. the men of the militia company carrying for one of their own, carried him to the field hospital. gates never stepped foot on the field during the battle that day, nor did the second-in-command, but horatio gates was given the honor of having won that great battle, and congress had minted a special coin. there is a wonderful painting of the surrender with gates accepting the surrender from the british. this was a great turning point in the revolution, and because of that great victory, the french, who had been quietly helping us, decided to come out openly and support the americans, and it was basically because of them that we won. once the french got into the war, the british realized they were going to have to pull back a bit in america because they had colonies and interests all over the world where the french would be competing against them, so this was really a tremendous help. arnold, of

you're the heart of golden gate park. if it weren't for you -- [applause] >> if it weren't for our working men and women who have cared for it for 150 years -- think about that. and for the sweat and tears our volunteers have put into this for 150 years, it wouldn't be the park that it is, so let's cut our garland. thank you all. [cheers and applause] ssion remote hearing for thursday, april 9, 2020, before we begin, i would like to enter into the record the following announcement and acknowledgements. on february 5, 2020, the mayor declared a local state of emergency related to covid-19. since that declaration, the county health officer has issued a number of public health orders related to covid-19, including a st stay-at-home order. the governor and state health officer have issued an overlaying stay-at-home order. therefore, due to the emergency and to protect commission

i gallop straight into pursued by john armstrong who gates, general gates had had ordered to bring him back. but orarnold was faster in catching up with the brigade. he asked the men who their officer was. a soldier shouted colonel latimer, sir. >> he was delighted. my old friends. p god bless you, i'm glad to see you. now come on, boys, if the day is long enough we'll have them all in hell by night. the idea that someone without any official command could get out on that battlefield and the men would follow him. and they did. the reason that he had no command was, as i say, general gates was not fond of him. he was jealous of him. he wanted him to go back to basically leave the army there. the men petitioned they wanted arnold to stay. so even without a command, he stayed. t person that did not leave the tent that day is general gates. spent the whole day in his tent and one hifz men who came to tell him what was going on found gates was spending his time arguing with a wounded british officer about the merits of the revolution. he was very disgruntled that he couldn't convince this o

bill gates, mr. gates, welcome. thank you for joining us. zeke, let's get it kicked off. >> thank you, ali. bill, you and i have known each other for more than a decade now. one of the things in this covid-19 pandemic that a lot of people are worried about is that if we discover a vaccine the bottleneck may turn out to be production, distribution and administration of the vaccine. what are you personally prepared to do to accelerate the process of production and distribution? >> well, because we're in a rush to get the vaccine done, we need to back up to ten companies because we're not sure which one will work. it's a novel virus. we've never done a vaccine like this before. there are some things in common like the last stage manufactu manufacturing, if you want to make 7 billion or 14 billion doses, that will be a bottleneck so we're funding that will work for all the vaccines and together with the governments, we'll fund the different manufacturing plants. unfortunately, they're not the same because the process of making these things like

and today is the 150th anniversary of golden gate park. instead of meeting in person, the park launched a virtual history of the park. how you can participate from your own home, coming up. >>> good morning and welcome to mornings on 2 this saturday. it will be a pretty wet day. good morning. >> good morning. yes, sitting here looking outside, it doesn't look bad but the rain is coming. i know we are watching that. also anchoring at home this morning with a look at the forecast, good morning rosemary. >> good morning. you're right, the rain is on the way. it's actually moving into areas of the north bay as we speak. we have a look at what's going on outside at this time. we have rain moving in and it's not going to go away. a live look over oakland where it's a mostly cloudy start. many locations are still not seeing the rain just yet. we are showing you where it's beginning to move in, areas over the bay and the north bay coastline, seeing this all the way down to the inverness area. santarosa, just the north edge of you, and farther to t

gates talked about? we don't know. we know one thing, this virus won't stop until it infects 60% to 70% of us. we have to have a battle plan not just about this week or this month or next month. we're in this for the long haul. i unfortunately promise you we will be having this same discussion where some form of it one year from tonight. >> that's such an ominous prediction. i'm sure you're correct. i wonder if we're not out of the gates yet in terms of being able to talk about reopening. can you clarify what the three -- are the three legs of that stool for identifying the starting point, the diagnostic testing, the antibody testing and the contact testing? it's confusing to know where we start with a clear picture of where we are today. >> well, first of all, we have to do testing but we've got to also stop talking about the way we have. we have far too many people that come on shows like this or write articles saying test, test, test. we have to understand we have a major shortage of reagents today. the world was no

it talks about the gate keeping on the gate keeping criteria to moving into phase one. it is very much related to what you just saw about influenza-like illness. and the united states has been tracking influenza-like illnesses through the centers of disease control for years. both the state and public health officials are used to watching this. county health officials are used to watching it, frankly every family on the united states knows how to access this on the cdc website in order to get up to date information to the communities. it also looks at a syndromic emergency room type visits. again, how did the cdc and really is our surveillance program can be utilized for a lot of different illnesses but in this case will be utilized for respiratory diseases. in addition we're tracking the number of cases. it must have a downward trajectory for 14 days and influenza-like illnesses and syndromic illnesses. downward trajectory with number of tests with persistence of high levels of testing. for the hospitals it is to insure we can treat all patients without resorting to an

i'm now joined by bill gates.leasure to have you on, bill. >> good to see you. >> so, if you were to explain to people in general, would you tell them that we now know the coronavirus is more deadly, less deadly, more transmissible, less transmissible? how do you characterize this one? >> well, we know that if we do these extreme social isolation measures we get the reproductive rate below 1, which means the total number of active infections starts to go down. what we don't know is we go slightly back to normal which activities create the risk of a rebound. and so we need to put into place a very dense testing regime so you would detect that rebound going back into the exponential growth very quickly and not wait for the icus to fill up and there to be lots of deaths. if you see the hot spot, you kind of understand the activities causing that. change policy there and get it back down to the -- into the decline. so that the -- the brute force tactic that was used did work it worked in every country, but that's cost

it is all the money from gates influencing how the w.h.o.ow operates?definitely, and thanks for having me, laura. it's an issue that's really fallen under the radar. bill gates withholds tremendous income for the what health organization and i'm not the only one saying that. back in 2017, "politico" which is not even considered a far right conservative organization, politico considers him that he has such impulse that if he wanted a policy pushed, the world health organization bureaucrats would oftentimes take the hit. not just funding we have to be worried about in america. this is an unelected guy who really has no political affiliations with america. and yet he has been given a huge to push what i view is anti-american policy based on coronavirus figures. this is something that he's not going to be held accountable to by voters. >> laura: here's what the gates foundation has given to the world health organization and related organizations. 395 grants totaling 3.6 billion to the w.h.o. he pledged up to 100 million to the global response to covid-19 fo

chris: that was bill gates in -- in 2015. since then gates has been doing everything he can to prevent a pandemic. two months ago the gates foundation committed $100 million to fight the coronavirus. i stat down with bill gates to discuss what we need to do now. it took four months to reach half a million cases around the world and just 7 days to add another half million cases. so how dangerous. how fearsome is this virus. and how do you see this epidemic playing out in the u.s.? >> this is a nightmare scenario. human-to-human transmission viruses can grow exponentially. if we had kept on going to work and traveling like we were, the curve would never bend until you have the majority of people infected and a massive number seeking hospital care and lots and lots of death. we had to use quarantine which is an old thing back from the days of the plague as our primary tool. if we use that well enough we should by the end of this month see those numbers level off. if we continue countrywide and we are testing the right people to

well, the truth is the group actually needs gates more than ever. with the u.s.a pause, he will now be their largest active donor. that's right, one out of every ten box that the w.h.o. gets is from the world's second wealthiest man. so should we be concerned about how much one man has maybe an outside influence with an obviously corruptible entity such as the w.h.o.? joining me now, "the washington times" opinion editor, has been writing up a storm about all of this. cheryl, is all that money from gates influencing how the w.h.o. operates? >> definitely. and thanks for having me, laura, to talk about this issue that's really fallen under the radar. bill gates wields tremendous influence in the world health organization and are not the only one saying that. back in 2017 politico, which as you know is not even considered a far right or conservative publication -- political called him the world health organization doctor, that he had such influence that when he wanted a policy pushed, that the world health organization he regrets what oftentimes caved to his wishes

bill gates whose philanthropy has made himself an expert in infectious diseases were gates is seen as a voice to listen to because in 2015 he gave a ted talk warning that the world was unprepared for the next outbreak but it's possible that the priorities of the gates foundation aren't the same as the objective progression of global health oh your show. i mean. nations. and the other outcomes for me industry the single biggest. to the united states the single biggest contributor is. the bill and melinda gates foundation. which has a very close relationship to ours. and has goals that are almost realigned with every so why is the united nations world health organization forced to rely on a private organization for such a significant portion of its funding according to global health watch the fundamental challenge at play here is a chronic funding crisis a lack of public funding has maybe w.h.o. turned to private sources and while in the early period after the organizations formation required contributions from u.n. member states where the majority of its budget by 20162017 that number

and of course on the golden gate traffic is light right now but you might see a crash just on the other side of the tunnel as you go from mill valley through sausalito into that tunnel so be careful, chp was dealing with it a little while ago but not seeming to cause a major jam off to a good start on friday now back to the headlines. >>> fema told the house oversight committee most of the 100,000 ventilators president trump promised the us would get will not be available until june. fema says a shortage of ventilators could get worse by the middle of this outbreak pea fema also said it has distributed tens of millions of respirators, masks and gloves and 8100 ventilators in the strategic national stockpile right now the focus is on getting those 100,000 ventilators.>> all of those vendors we are buying them from will potentially need help in their supply chains with their suppliers.>> the white house said president trump is invoking the defense production act to clear up any supply change issued encountered in the manufacturing of ventilators and to make sure the production of extra an
