The video of George Floyd’s brutal death broke my heart. I’ve watched the protests that followed and have felt overwhelmed with solidarity. And I’m listening as Black advocates and activists call on every American to treat racial justice as a shared responsibility.
I continue to be inspired by all of the volunteers (including many retired health care workers and teachers) on the front lines of the fight against coronavirus each day.
Here are five books to read this summer if you want to learn more about pandemics or are looking for a distraction: gatesnot.es/3c4D7EG

To overcome #COVID19 the world doesn’t just need science. It needs a commitment to help people beat this virus wherever they live. Our foundation is proud to support this effort and will join in pledging the resources & brainpower to confront this globally.
There are over 100 different coronavirus vaccine candidates in the works. These candidates take a variety of approaches to protecting the body against COVID-19: gatesnot.es/3aYXP8d
Humankind has never had a more urgent task than creating broad immunity for coronavirus. It’s going to require a global cooperative effort like the world has never seen. But I know we’ll get it done. There’s simply no alternative. gatesnot.es/3d06cC2

This is a great introduction to computer science concepts for students at all levels. I’m looking forward to joining today’s Code Break.
Studying alone? Take a #CodeBreak! Join our live, interactive computer science classroom featuring @codeorg founder @hadip + special guests, every Wednesday at 10am PT/1pm ET. Sign up or see activities and past episodes at code.org/break.
Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.
.@NickKristof does an amazing job capturing the heroism of the health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus fight.
I spent 2 days in the "hot zone" in New York hospitals, witnessing needless death and heartache, and heroic, shattered health workers. One doctor spends her days treating patients, holding their hands--then goes home and cries. Her message: "Stay home."

On #WorldHealthDay — and every day — I want to thank all of the health heroes for their sacrifices and for keeping us safe.
I always enjoy chatting with @Trevornoah, even though we had to sit a little bit further apart than usual this time.

It’s encouraging to see the first projects begin from our effort to accelerate safe and effective drugs for #COVID19.
We’re hopeful these first three grants through the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator will advance our understanding of how existing drugs can fight the #COVID19 pandemic. Thanks to new partners @ChanZuckerberg @Madonna @GOVUK. gates.ly/2X5F5Rp
I’m excited to join the @khanacademy Daily Homeroom today to talk about the incredible ways parents, teachers, and students are coming together to keep learning while schools are closed.

In the meantime, frontline health care workers are making heroic efforts to test and treat patients across the United States and the world. Here in my hometown, Public Health Seattle & King County (@KCPubHealth) is doing incredible work that we should all be very proud of.
All the work that rich countries are doing now to develop vaccines will save lives in developing countries too. Without a vaccine, those countries are at even greater risk than wealthy ones, because it’s even harder for them to do physical distancing and shutdowns.
If everything goes well, there might be an effective vaccine in less than 18 months—the fastest a vaccine has ever been developed. That will depend on decisions we make today, including the federal government investing in building up manufacturing capacity.
Work is going full speed on potential treatments, and vaccines. But people should know that it will take time to prove they are safe and effective and to start making them.
There’s been some progress on more efficient testing methods, such as the self-swab developed by the Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network. I hope this and other innovations in testing are scaled up across the country soon. bit.ly/2yodiRH
The federal government needs to step up on testing: far more tests should be made available, and we should aggregate the results so we can quickly identify potential volunteers for clinical trials and know with confidence when it’s time to return to normal.
Extreme physical distancing measures will make a big difference in the U.S., but we need a consistent nationwide approach. Until the case numbers start to go down across America—which could take 10 weeks or more—no one can continue business as usual or relax the shutdown.
There’s no question the United States missed the opportunity to get ahead of the novel #coronavirus. But the window for making important decisions hasn’t closed. The choices we and our leaders make now will have an enormous impact. wapo.st/2R4BKho

I’m inspired by the generosity of everyone who has contributed to this effort to help keep kids learning at home. Thank you to @DonorsChoose and especially the educators who are doing amazing things for their students every day.
Thank you to everyone who has supported #KeepKidsLearning so far! In just two days last week, over 7K people gave nearly $1M, which, thanks to a match from @BillGates & @MelindaGates, will help thousands of teachers get supplies to their students at home. bit.ly/2JvPa21
One of the questions I am most often asked about the #COVID19 pandemic is how, and when, it will end. This article by @edyong209 does a really good job of outlining the steps we need to take. b-gat.es/2QU3Njx

There are few people I’ve learned more from over the years–especially about viruses–than Peter Piot. This Q&A with him is an excellent, easy-to-understand primer on #COVID19: b-gat.es/3bBcIyC
I’ve been impressed by governors across the country including @JayInslee, @NYGovCuomo, @GavinNewsom, @GovMikeDeWine, @GovLarryHogan, and the many others who are guiding their communities through this challenge and providing a model for us all to follow.
Thanks to Norway and Prime Minister @erna_solberg for their ongoing leadership in global health and important investments in vaccines.
Now we increase support for @CEPIvaccines by 2.2 billion to develop a vaccine against corona! Cepi will also ensure a fair distribution of the vaccine so that it also reaches the most vulnerable and poor countries in the world.

The international response will require funding for @CEPIVaccines’s development of a COVID-19 vaccine and for @Gavi. Thanks to @BorisJohnson and the UK for this vital commitment.
Governments around the world must step up to help us defeat #coronavirus.
I’ve announced a further £210m of aid funding for vaccine research following today's G20 call, meaning the UK is going above and beyond in the search for a vaccine.
