Only apply Covid-19 restrictions in areas being overwhelmed by hospitalizations.
To encourage natural immunity, no Covid-19 restrictions should be applied unless hospitalisations are close to overwhelming local hospitals. Where Nightingale hospitals are available, these should be used instead of local hospitals so that other ailments are not unduly impacted.
Policy is being decided on the basis of new cases, but the wrong problem (stopping mild illness) is being tackled. The government should focus on preventing SERIOUS illness & reducing the collateral damage to all other health problems.
If natural immunity is not built up, any vaccination programme will be severely undermined. Current policy will prevent natural immunity forming.
Huge amounts of money were used to set up the Nightingale hospitals. They should be used to protect the NHS!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government to take a specific action.
Hospital admissions is already one of the four indicators used by the Government to decide on lockdown restrictions: www.gov.uk/government/publications/containing-and-managing-local-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreaks/covid-19-contain-framework-a-guide-for-local-decision-makers
It is not clear if you want the Government to impose Covid-19 restrictions in areas where hospitals have already been overwhelmed, or where it is predicted they will be. We could accept a petition calling for restrictions to only be imposed under these circumstances, but it would need to be clear in exactly what circumstances you wanted restrictions to be imposed.
Your petition also refers to encouraging natural immunity, but there is no evidence that exposure to Covid-19 results in immunity, and we cannot publish petitions that contain false or unproven statements.
We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/550675
