Rejected petition Isolate the old and infirm and get everybody else back to work immediately.
Rejected on
The reaction to Corona Virus is completely out of step with the potential downside. The Government needs to govern and show that bankrupting the economy, businesses and people is not worth the very low spike in extra annualised deaths.
Isolate only the elderly and vulnerable and get everyone back to work immediately. Be honest about the amount of extra deaths and show leadership instead of pandering to hysteria.
