Re: Coronavirus
The U.K would have to respond in kind but it's probably best to be cautious before the Government starts sabre-rattling. I think the EU leadership would want nothing better than for Boris Johnson to start making counter-threats and turn this into a Britain vs EU thing for the benefit of their domestic audience.
The U.K should wait and see what they actually do. Then see if it does actually impact us. If they do a tokenistic block of some vaccines from some factories then we should roll our eyes and take the moral high ground leaving the EU looking petulant and ineffective.
If they do start making a notable impact on our vaccine supply and schedules then we have to respond by blocking the export of the ingredients needed. We should also make overtures to European-based pharmaceutical companies to move more production to the U.K on the promise we won't block them from honoring their contracts.
