Rejected petition Not to include under 12s in the rule of 6 gathering restrictions in England

The rule of 6 people gathering to restrict the spread of COVID-19 should not include children under 12.

More details

The rule of 6 unfairly restricts medium and large families while pubs stay open for inebriated people who are incapable of social distancing while drinking with 5 friends from different houses. There will be more and more grandparents over the next few weeks go wont be able to see their newly born grandkids while others will be socialising in pubs and playing teams sports. Ask yourself what is the moral thing to do here? Do you care more about alcohol tax or families?
