Implement 'Focused Protection' (Great Barrington Declaration) method for COVID19

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow normal life to resume for the general public whilst implementing methods to protect the most vulnerable in society from COVID19.
Public health is being put at risk in a number of ways due to the current government approach to COVID19 - both physically and mentally. The Great Barrington Declaration was released by three scientists from across the world and has been signed by thousands of scientists. This proposes a well reasoned and thought out scientific approach to protecting those most at risk from COVID19 whilst protecting against the harm caused by the current approach (like fewer cancer screenings).
