Adopt stricter containment measures towards health emergency in the UK
We are requesting the UK government to prioritises the health of its citizens by adopting any possible measure to face the clinical threat imposed by the spread of the global pandemics, as defined by WHO.
The government should impose a remote-working policy wherever possible, close schools and public spaces, as well as ban social gatherings for the time-being, to decrease the chances of the virus to affect the population.
A million deaths are a tremendous number to be playing with: we have no certainty that herd immunity works, whereas measures adopted in other affected countries have proven to be working and the number of infected patients is slowing down.
