Not that he is ever likely to stand for it. But in his latest interview he has said some really impressive things (well, sort of the stuff I said a week ago).
First of all, the country is fatigued with restrictions, so we want to use public health measures not to get in the way of opening the economy, but to being a safe gateway to opening the economy.
Put ‘shut downs’ away and say, ‘We’re going to use public health measures to help us safely get to where we want to go’
I recommend listening to the whole interview. To hear somebody say “I got it wrong” is really refreshing. There is a follow up on 60 minutes overtime that gives his view on where we will be next year. In short he is talking about reducing the use of face coverings, but they will still be around until 2022
The mixture of realism and hope is interesting.
There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us
I like that term – passionate patience. Might be my goal for the next year.
