His comments were met with derision by all the 'medical experts' on Twitter but it turns out a Prime Minister of 10 years probably has experience in quickly identifying who to listen too and which information is relevant.

As I said previously it'll be interesting to see which countries adopt this approach and (if published) the emerging scientific evidence for it and ultimately the outcomes that result.
I've been fairly cynical so far today so to continue in that vein a British Establishment echo chamber supporting reopening the economy might not necessarily give the best health outcomes in the medium to long term. Personally I was half surprised Blair didn't sign the discredited Great Barrington declaration.
The United States certainly appears under a lot of Covid pressure at the minute so I'd be keen to see if they adopt this approach.
