Bill Gates has tested positive for COVID. Can you guess his symptoms and what he's thankful for?

Billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced on Twitter that he’s tested positive for COVID:

“I’ve tested positive for COVID. I’m experiencing mild symptoms and am following the experts’ advice by isolating until I’m healthy again.”

Gates, who is vaccinated and boosted, says he’s “fortunate to be vaccinated and boosted and have access to testing and great medical care”:

At what point do people stop tweeting that they’ve caught what amounts to a cold?

Gates’ diagnosis comes just after he compared COVID to the Flu during a talk at the 92nd Street Y in New York City:

Bill Gates: “We didn’t understand that it’s a fairly low fatality rate & that it’s a disease mainly in the elderly, kind of like flu is, although a bit different than that.”

Um, we knew this in 2020:

We understood that by about April 2020.

And then he promoted Microsoft’s product for remote work at a time when companies and cities are desperate to get workers back in the office:

The Gates Foundation is coming together today for the first time in two years, and I am lucky to be on Teams to see everyone and thank them for their hard work.

And imagine the hubris it takes to think we can stop the next pandemic anytime soon? Especially based on how poorly the CDC/FDA/HHS/WHO/ETC. has one this round:

We will continue working with partners and do all we can to ensure none of us have to deal with a pandemic again.
