End the catastrophic morbidity of lockdown measures
I am absolutely disgusted by the government's response to covid19. The government with their their scaremongering have created a mass hysteria based on fiction.
The lockdown is harmful, disproportionate, directly discriminatory e.g. to women who are more statistically more likely to be single parents and unable to cope, to autistic individuals, to those with mental health issues. To children - age discrimination as they are more likely than other groups to be negatively affected. Although not protected characteristics it is also discriminatory to our poorest members of society who do not have safe, nice homes like those from wealthy backgrounds.
The vast majority of us are not at risk from coronavirus however the Scottish and UK government have caused us immense harm and suffering with these awful measures. You have put the nation in millions of debt, stripped away our freedom and basic human rights, our futures, our health! I have been a strong advocate and supporter of independence along with many of my colleagues and friends, however following Nicola Stugeon's dictatorship message this morning I am seriously regretting my choices. This can't continue.
The elderly and health vulnerable should receive full protection if they so choose, i.e. fully supported to stay at home - financially, emotionally, practically however the rest of us should return to normal life. This lockdown is not sustainable and will not eradicate covid19 because we are not allowing enough exposure to create immunity in the general population. However the morbidity and subsequent mortality it is causing is horrendous. In contract, easing the lockdown would allow the majority of the population to develop a herd immunity and once this is achieved, it will be safe for our elderly and vulnerable.
My elderly neighbours and my elderly grandmother tell me that life is not worth living if they can't see their children and grandchildren.
End this awful abuse of our human rights. It is a a catastrophic failure.
Why the contribution is important
To save tens of thousands from the morbidity and subsequent mortality as a direct result of lockdown measures.
