What the petition asks
The government should be providing essential daily living services for those most vulnerable in society i.e. those who are most susceptible to COVID. Provide services to allow them to shield. The government should re-open our economy for the remainder of the population.
This would allow us to try and achieve herd immunity, with those most vulnerable still protected. Debt is rising with lockdowns, there are reported increases in mental health problems, addiction and domestic abuse, as well as a rise in cost of living & poverty. People need their personal freedoms restored. Most people with no underlying conditions will recover from COVID. The mental health of the country is on the line. Protect those who most need it and re-open the rest of the country.
