TheWorldTomorrow: A second wave of COVID19 and a winter lockdown would be a 'really awful' prospect for Britain, former prime minister Tony Blair has warned

His comments come amid growing tensions surrounding both the US and UK relationship with China - whether on the fronts of technology, the military and broader geopolitics, for instance China's treatment of Hong Kong.

"I find this in all the governments I work with around the world through my institutes. They are, I think, going to repatriate some of their supply chains - not just for medical equipment but they'll look at other supply chains as well. So there'll be a certain repatriation of manufacturing maybe."I think it's highly unlikely that globalisation itself will go into retreat because there are just so many ways that people connect with each other.

"If you want to play a global role, you've got to put chips on the table," he said."People always overcomplicate geopolitics at the international level. It's perfectly simple. If you want to exercise power and you're not one of the two biggest powers in the world, you exercise it in alliance with others. Without going back over old wounds, that's one of the reasons why I was opposed to Brexit.

There are no studies, except for approved medical masks in medical care situations. No studies for general use of masks or for using not for medical use approved face masks. In my country no mandatory mask use, few cases.
