What the petition asks
Im calling for a national day of morning/remembrance to acknowledge and remember all the innocent lives lost to the Covid-19 virus
It is heartbreaking that family and friends are unable to grieve together in these horrific, emotional and frightening times, these are the moments when human contact is desperately needed. A day dedicated to the deceased will acknowledge that these poor people are individuals and not just a number on the data sheets.
It will also serve to acknowledge that these people mattered.
