What the petition asks
The Select Committee to call experts to establish the source country, source practices, and primary means of transmission of the virus. To establish what appropriate sanctions can be applied by the UK to any source countries to encourage them to stop any practices that led to the Covid-19 outbreak.
The Covid-19 Pandemic will eventually have caused thousands in deaths, cost the world billions in lost production, and untold misery across the globe. We must take all necessary steps to prevent similar outbreaks in the future.We must be proactive not just reactive. If this means placing sanctions against countries that threaten the Worlds health then these must be considered. Globalisation must include countries being held responsible for their peoples actions
