Rejected petition Continue testing individuals for Covid-19 who have symptoms
Continue testing symptomatic individuals for Covid -19 especially with the emphasis that has been placed on ‘data’ and ‘figures’. If these aren’t accurate- how can we plan appropriately?
More details
In order to ensure that accurate
data is being released. To establish how many people as possible are infected in order to produce reliable and honest transparency to the British public and to inform the World Health Organisation of the true impact on our society. how can data and planning be accurate without people also being tested in the community? Having a family member tested , it was important to my workplace, and to vulnerable and at risk family and friends that we knew the result.
