Bill Gates says most tests for coronavirus are "garbage"

 

"But people aren’t getting their tests back quickly enough.

"Well, that’s just stupidity. The majority of all US tests are completely garbage, wasted. If you don’t care how late the date is and you reimburse at the same level, of course they’re going to take every customer. Because they are making ridiculous money, and it’s mostly rich people that are getting access to that. You have to have the reimbursement system pay a little bit extra for 24 hours, pay the normal fee for 48 hours, and pay nothing [if it isn’t done by then]. And they will fix it overnight.

"Why don’t we just do that?

"Because the federal government sets that reimbursement system."
