New York, May 10 (RHC)-- Last month, in an interview with CNN, American philanthropist Melinda Gates expressed her belief that the coronavirus pandemic will have the worst impact in the developing world.  She said she foresees bodies lying around in the street of African countries.

A day later, it was announced that the United States, where Gates is from, had surpassed Italy in terms of the number of dead from COVID-19.

Political observers said that it is surprising to see that although there have been shocking reports of hospitals overwhelmed with patients and dead bodies left to decompose in homes and in the streets of the United States and in other Western countries, the billionaire philanthropist and others like her still choose to talk about dead bodies in Africa.

Melinda Gates has a reported net worth of $70 billion.   Her husband, Bill Gates, clocks in at a little over $100 billion.
