A targeted and evidence based approach to Covid-19, NO to a further lockdown

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

To NOT bring in further restrictions on movement and a lockdown
To use the evidence we know and help protect the elderly and those with health concerns
Be transparent about how the future looks for us with no vaccine ready for potentially a year+ and what will happen if we refuse a vaccine
To know WHY a virus with a mortality rate on par with seasonal Flu & influenza means an individuals movements are being restricted, businesses having to limit/close. If the rate at which people have the virus is high & the death rate is low is this not a positive? To explain why & how Covid-19 deaths are being measured, as per the gov website they're overestimated, by how much? How accurate are the tests %? Right to refuse, at what point does restriction of movement become human rights breach?
