Chris Anderson. Welcome, Bill Gates.

You know, we had a TED conversation
-
Not Synced
about three months ago
about this pandemic,
-
Not Synced
and back then I think fewer than --
-
Not Synced
I think that was the end of March --
-
Not Synced
Back then, fewer than
a thousand people in the US had died,
-
Not Synced
and fewer than 20,000 worldwide.
-
Not Synced
I mean, the numbers now are,
like, 128,000 dead in the US
-
Not Synced
and more than half a million worldwide.
-
Not Synced
in three months.

Not Synced
In three months.

What is your diagnosis of what is possible
for the rest of this year?
-
Not Synced
You look at a lot of models.
-
Not Synced
What do you think best
and worst case scenarios might be?
-
Not Synced
BG: Well, the range of scenarios, sadly,
-
Not Synced
is quite large, including that,
-
Not Synced
as we get into the fall,
-
Not Synced
we could have death rates
-
Not Synced
that rival the worst of what we had
in the April time period.
-
Not Synced
If you get a lot of young people infected,
-
Not Synced
eventually they will infect
old people again,
-
Not Synced
and so you'll get into the nursing homes,
-
Not Synced
the homeless shelters,
-
Not Synced
the places where we've had
a lot of our deaths.
