What the petition asks
Until we get a vaccine to end the lockdown. The sooner we can get everyone suspected of having COVID19 tested and those that may of had it tested for antibodies, the sooner we should be able to come out of lockdown.
Many people cannot afford to stay in lockdown for much longer, we need to be able to get back to normality as soon as possible, it is not fair on so many hard working and honest business, until a vaccine has been invented we need the tests so we can can get true figures of the extent of the virus and treat those with it sooner so fatalities are reduced.
