Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has famously spent the post-technology half of his career engaged in philanthropy, with global health care one of the many causes he focuses on via his charitable foundation. In fact, it was his work with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that he said he wanted to focus more on when he announced in recent days that he’s leaving the boards of Microsoft as well as Berkshire Hathaway.
In the wake of that announcement, he took to Reddit on Wednesday to host an Ask Me Anything session, and as you might imagine he got immediately bombarded with questions related to the coronavirus crisis. “We do need to stay calm,” he urged, “even though this is an unprecedented situation” — and he also tried to add some bright spots where he could.
