Former UK PM Tony Blair questions President Trump’s approach to the coronavirus crisis. 'The most important thing at a time like this is to say, ‘How do you bring the world together?’” Blair told NBCNews.
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.
