Allow the UK to go back to ‘normal’ amidst the Corona virus
What do we, the people, actually gain from hiding from a virus? History has taught us the only way to overcome something is to be exposed to it. And once exposed, we become immune. We understand the fatalities, as small as they are. But what does hiding and isolation actually solve?
Right now, people are living in fear. Because you tell them to do so. We stock up on things we barely need. Taking necessities away from those who go without. So as the virus takes out “the weakest links” society takes out the “poor”. We gain nothing from hiding apart from a world with socioeconomic problems. Yes, some of us will be impacted by it. But whether we hide or not it’s still going to happen. Going back to ‘normal’ will allow us to gain our lives back and the majority to be immune.

We understand that you want the Government to change its response to the coronavirus outbreak, but it's not clear what action you want the Government to take.
You could start a new petition give more detail about what you want the Government to do, for example by reversing its policies on social distancing and requiring non-essential businesses to close.
