Covid crisis - Media to share the positives not the negatives

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to give people hope through this crisis and stop reporting on number of deaths.
Change the thinking and look at how many people have recovered and gone through our nhs system.
Share the positives please.

I started to suffer with anxiety and now I have a young baby, the media reports always seem to focus on a lot of the negatives.
I want this to change and want to see how many people are recovering and have fully recovered.
This will give the general public a lot more hope and also help people with mental health issues.

Stop the media sharing the negatives and instead share the positives!
Make sure the media do their bit throughout this crisis!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
