Rejected petition Take Italy’s stance: implement a lockdown and suspend Rent, Mortage and bills.

The government need to start serving the best interests of the people. We still have a head start on Italy and can hopefully prevent the mass spread of the virus under a government lock down. There is still a chance to maintain the virus. The government’s lack of response to the virus is appalling.

More details

Implement a full government lockdown.

Suspend Mortages, Rent and bills.

People will continue going to work out of desperation, regardless of having symptoms of the virus because they do not feel secure. A suspension of these bills, NOT a scenario where the payments are piled up, will reassure the public.

Fund the necessary provisions to keep the public indoors.

NOTE: Herd immunity has not been proven to work for this virus! We do not consent to being participants in this experiment.
