To stop lockdown so people stop panic buying
I want to stop lockdown because it will decrease convoid 19 but increase mental because of panic buying causing for certain types of people not being able to get essentials they need?
Because single parents, disabled people or elderly won’t be able to buy food if lock down and panic buyings aloud for panic buying should be a limit to how much you can buy depending on how many live with you

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you want the Government to take action to prevent panic buying, but it's not clear how the action you are proposing would achieve this.
The Government's guidance says that most people can leave their home to shop for food, but should do so as infrequently as possible: www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do
The Government as also put in place measures to support those who are clinically extremely vulnerable: www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19#how-can-you-get-assistance-with-foods-and-medicines-if-you-are-shielding
