Yes, Boris Johnson is back, working normally, apparently thoroughly reinvigorated from his time of recuperation from the rigours of Covid-19 infection.
Truth be told, the very fact that he caught the virus instead, despite giving excellent advice and leadership which would enable many of us NOT to, speaks of a certain recklessness on his part. Well, it's recklessness he paid for very heavily. I think it's taught him the wisdom of avoiding further such recklessness in applying his future leadership.
So, Boris has given us his latest thoughts on the UK's immediate future. They contain, commendably so, a commonsense approach divorced from recklessness.

Boris Johnson has warned of a huge loss of life if lockdown measures are lifted too soon, as he urged Britons to “contain their impatience” during the fight against coronavirus.
In his first address to the nation since returning to work after being treated in intensive care, the prime minister said the UK is now beginning to “turn the tide” in the battle against COVID-19, but that Britain is also now at “the moment of maximum risk”.
Johnson, speaking outside 10 Downing Street on Monday morning, said that while Britain has “begun to wrestle coronavirus to the floor”, he was not prepared to risk a second peak by easing government guidance too early.
I only wish that certain of your Governors thought as Boris clearly does. I say that Boris has got this exactly right.
He is, indeed, proving to be a great and caring Conservative leader. An enormous credit to his Party, his nation, maybe even to humanity itself.
I hope that others here, after reflection, will think that Boris's wisdom is worth heeding. He speaks for me, as one Conservative to another, representing good and caring Conservative ideals.
