Gates weighs in on President Trump’s concern about how social distancing measures are harming the economy. Gates delivered a Ted Talk in 2015 that predicted the world being unprepared for a major epidemic. Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates told CNBC he thinks schools will be able to resume in the fall but the U.S. economy won’t magically return to the way it was before the coronavirus pandemic. Governments around the world have ordered people to stay home, and elected officials in Arizona, California, Georgia, Michigan, Washington and other states have closed schools for the rest of the academic year. “I do think school will be able to resume in the fall,” Gates said in an interview with Becky Quick that aired on “Squawk Box” on Thursday. “But I don’t think this school year there’s going to be any significant attendance. You know, maybe in the summer, people will do something special. But that would be very hard to do.” Some schools have made it possible for students to take classes remotely over the internet, but the Microsoft co-founder noted that many students don’t have the computers or internet connections necessary for remote learning. “Most of the private schools, they’re used to online, they’ve made sure all their students have the device and the connectivity,” he added. “Different school districts have decided some don’t do online learning because it would be unjust in terms of the kids who don’t have access. And so that’s really a dilemma. There are philanthropists — Ray Dalio, Jeff Bezos and many others — who are trying to fill that gap, you know, get some devices and connectivity out there.” More broadly, the U.S. could open back up at the end of May, Gates said. Before a vaccine is available, he said, countries that have had considerable epidemics must figure out which activities should come back. He suggested that people could probably return to manufacturing and construction, and hopefully education.
