In comments that will add to the debate about how quickly to end the current global lockdown, Blair also advocated for an easing of restrictions, albeit with measures in place.

Blair — who now heads the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, a nonprofit organisation — added that his family members are all well and healthy. He said he was especially concerned about the impact of COVID-19 restrictions in Africa, a continent of 1.2 billion people, where, according to official data, the disease has had very limited health implications with just over 3,000 deaths.Blair said lockdown measures were disrupting programmes that help treat and limit the spread of malaria, diarrheal diseases and HIV/AIDS.

Food insecurity and lack of work in the informal economy were also placing a huge burden on the continent.

Can you guys talk about how Speaker Corey Johnson and his cohorts are pushing to open the beaches with hundreds of daily cases in NYC? NYC is the densest city in the US. Hit the hardest in the US. His guidelines are haphazardly put together.

What strategy? He has none.

This from the man who tried his very best to destroy the world

What strategy?

This is the same man that was investigated and should of been charged with war crimes. I think trump has handled this whole thing well and is calling out those who have alot to answer for.

HELP US, WE HAVEN'T HAD A LEADER IN 3 1/2 YEARS.

Get at him Tony

He is a Looser he quit he is not worth listening to

If he feels this way, imagine what we are dealing with internally.

Trump is supplying ventilators and testing to all foreign countries. What the hell is Blair talking about.

Maybe that's why he's the former PM.
