Put people's health first amid COVID19
It is imperative for the Government to invest more money and time into appropriate resources that can help support the lives of people living in the UK. This includes accepting help from the EU for any schemes offered to support the COVID19 crisis.
The Government has not been transparent with the COVID19 situation. For weeks, we were told to keep going to work and for schools to remain open during turbulent times.
The Government need to act now to invest in more ventilators, more hospitals, more beds in ICU. It is no good to us to wait for this to be in place by July, this needs to happen now. The situation is getting significantly worse, and the Government are not acting fast enough. Please act faster and accept help EU help.
