Debate creating memorials to commemorate the dead from COVID-19.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The current pandemic has so far killed more than 100,000 people in the UK. Collectively the deaths highlight how fragile human life is, and hoe special it is. A memorial at local levels should highlight the people who died, and should be a reminder of what we as humans have got.

I think that the Government and Parliament should lead a wider debate about how to commemorate the dead from this dreadful pandemic. The Government should also contribute money to the local councils to help them to create a memorial that it suitable for their area.
