Close the borders to non residents - until a vaccine is available for covid 19
Strictly enforce this lockdown, which you have already committed us to. Set up a robust track and trace programme, rollout mass testing and close the borders to non UK residents until a vaccine is available and/or cases drop around the world. Allowing us to stop doing these life destroying lockdowns
We can't run or hide from this virus - we need strong controls and leadership. A consistent message and plan put in place that has a long term effect.
Closing the borders may mean staycations become the norm for the next few years, but that's better than stay at home.
Follow successful countries - New Zealand and Taiwan have both had success from this approach. Why wouldn't we learn from them?
We can't keep destroying our economy and toying with people's wellbeing - with years of lockdowns.
