Launch an independent public enquiry into the handling of CoViD19 by U.K. Govt. · petition

What the petition asks

I’d like an independent public enquiry into the handling of the CoVID19 pandemic so that we can be better prepared in the future.

Over 10,000 lives have been lost so far, WHO advice on testing and PPEs was implemented late, large numbers of NHS staff have been infected, a disproportionate number of BAME staff have lost lives, and the lockdown should have been imposed in the early phase of the pandemic. All these are matters of huge importance to the public and must be investigated so that we have better preparedness when another national crisis arises.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
