Petition · past parliament

release Corona lockdown immediately and re open schools and industries.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the lockdown and re open schools and businesses. The actual vulnerable population and their carers should receive more adequate protection. The economy should start up again to minimise further damage now and for future generations.
The lockdown causes damage to the general economy and individual lives. People's mental- and physical health, livelihoods and jobs are destroyed at an unprecedented scale. The effects of the lock down are questionable. People that do need protection are not properly protected by these measures.
