Trust the Public
Stay at home has had wide compliance. The public should and can be trusted to see each other in a safe way, in each other’s gardens, meeting for walks, being allowed to drive to local areas for exercise. All outdoor activities should be allowed at safe distances. This should be allowed now. Social distancing in shops should continue. There are no reason for other shops to be shut if food shops are open. People will most likely only go if really necessary, nobody WANTS to spread the virus. Allow people to risk assess themselves when visiting family. This is no different to risk assessing yourself going to a supermarket. Healthy, symptom free families should be allowed to meet each other. Parks and playgrounds should be opening, hand washing is key here, perhaps have more hand washing stations. Vital NHS services should resume. The fact that the epidemic is mostly in care homes and hospitals is an utter failure, these are the people that should have been protected, all that has happened is healthy people have been protected that likely wouldn’t have put the NHS under strain if they had contracted COVID-19. Trains should run more frequently with less people on them. If people want to travel allow testing for when they return, or if they have been in a situation that is high risk, eg a stay in hospital. As COVID cases fall centralise the cases to one hospital so that other hospitals can remain safe spaces. Travel can resume at a later date, perhaps a COVID test can be purchased upon return? People would be willing to pay for a test if willing to pay for a plane ticket.
Why the contribution is important
This lockdown is unsustainable, I am someone complying with the rules but can’t go on like this much longer!
