Request that data centres emulate CoronaVirus simulations to aid research.
CoronaVirus is one very rare instance (much like war) that the government should be able to step in and take control over a specific resources.
The government should incentivize (but mandate) Microsoft, Amazon, google and RackSpace to use a portion of its capacity to aid with the research.
The UK is home to some of the most advanced and powerful data centres in the world, all of which could be used to aid in researching a counter to CoronaVirus.
If 10% of the capacity of all the data centres was to be used to help emulate and calculate potential counters to the CoronaVirus it might well save millions of live globally and would also keep the UK in the forefront of bio-research.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government can already pay for data centre use if it requires there use. We're not aware of any refusal of businesses to support this.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
