Bill Gates On CNN: Lockdowns Could Continue Until 2022 And Bars & Restaurants Should Stay Closed

Bill Gates, Worth Nearly $120 Billion, Advocates For Keeping Some Bars, Restaurants Closed During Pandemic

Microsoft founder Bill Gates warned on Sunday that some restaurants and bars will have to remain closed as COVID cases surge across the country.

“Bars and restaurants—in most of the country—will be closed as we go into this wave, and I think, sadly, that’s appropriate,” Gates told CNN's State of the Union.

Gates' comment prompted a response from some critics on the right, including former Acting Director of U.S. National Intelligence Richard Grenell, the Daily Caller and Georgia congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene, who claim its easy for Gates to say when he's worth over $118 billion.
