Stop Mandatory Face Coverings and Review All Restrictions relative to the danger
A large proportion of the public consider that the Government strategy on Covid 19 restrictions is completely haphazard. We want them to completely review the position with reference to the danger Covid 19 now poses to the general population.
1. Stop the introduction of mandatory wearing of face masks in public subject to a review of the danger of Covid 19
2. The Chief Medical Officer to communicate the real danger of Covid 19 in terms of and in comparison to other everyday risks of living a normal life.
3. Review all of the restrictions immediately with reference to the danger of Covid 19 at 2. above.
4. To have an end trigger for all restrictions based upon the danger lowering.
