The ex-Labour leader said he was sure that the Government was working flat out to contain the virus but that mass testing was needed in the fightback. Mr Blair said that a point will be reached where a "very large" proportion of the entire population is tested for coronavirus. Mr Blair said it would be "perfectly possible" for Boris Johnson to run the country from his living room, during his coronavirus self-isolation. The former PM also said that any response must be global - or we risk seeing a resurgence in the virus. He called for global co-ordination to pull together ventilators nd other equipment to help those countries most in need.
