What the petition asks

It's not nearly enough that the Govt wants to pay Covid-19 fallen NHS staff £60,000 death benefit. If the Govt / We truly want to show our deep thanks to those who gave their lives saving ours and their families, pay the families what the employee would have earned through to retirement.
We owe thos that have fallen / will fall to Covid-19, while saving us, a debt that money cannot redeem, but if we truly look after the families of those who fought so bravely, we honor them in truth.
