Clapping is not enough. So far, at least 100 health workers have contracted coronavirus and died and it is highly likely that more will in the future. Hundreds of people have lost mums and dads, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, partners and friends. Perhaps you have. The chief coroner has instructed coroners that they should not consider shortages in the supply of PPE in their inquests despite overwhelming anecdotal evidence that a shortage exists and that health workers have been dying as a consequence of it. Our health workers deserve our support. They face infection and potential death daily when they look after our families. They are there with the people that we care about when we can't be. If it matters to you that we listen to their concerns, that they are treated fairly and with respect, and that we keep them as safe as is possible in these extremely difficult and challenging circumstances then please sign this petition.

Because to many people go around without a helmet on if they were to fall for what ever the reason they could end up in A&E, thats an extra person in A&E, if its a serious fall it could and can be life changing injuries, it needs to be law that if we are out cycling we must by law wear a helmet.

To ascertain who was telling the truth, & be held responsible if they were knowingly lying. Be held to account for possibly being partially responsible for deaths that could have been avoided had the correct PPE been provided accordingly. We are talking here about ordinary people, husbands wives, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends, friends of friends, relatives. Who may have been sacrificed by people trying to cover up.

It is vitally important that they have just as much protection as the general public. I've heard many times that staff have been warned not to wear facemasks as they will frighten the public. This is totally unacceptable for all key workers.

38% of all particulate emissions are from burning wood and coal in stoves and open fires in people's homes. In Brighton it is legal to burn coal and wood in the most polluting of ways as there is only a very small (5%) smoke control area. Particulate pollution is a risk to health in Brighton as it regularly exceeds WHO 24 hour PM2.5 health guideline levels and often it is wood and coal burning that are to blame. I ask you to kindly support me in my request asking Brighton and Hove Council to bring in this standard regulation to prevent this most polluting form of fuel burning and improve the health of its residents. Smoke Control Areas (SCA) are used in cities and towns to regulate in which areas residents are allowed to burn coal, wood in open fires, wood in non exempt stoves and other requirements intended to reduce pollution from burning solid fuel. PM2.5 pollution is lower in cities that have a full Smoke Control Area. https://www.bmj.com/content/350/bmj.h2757/rr-1 The government is in the process of strengthening the regulations surrounding SCAs with the intention to improve air quality but in Brighton that regulation cannot be acted upon due to there not being a full, city wide, SCA in place. Please share and sign this local campaign to improve the air quality in Brighton.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/07/air-pollution-linked-to-far-higher-covid-19-death-rates-study-finds PM2.5, the main pollutant when burning these fuels, has increased in some parts of the country due to people staying at home more and lighting more fires. The increase is likely to be seen more in residential areas where we now spend most of our time. This could increase further during the winter if there is a second wave of the virus. Wood and coal burning are the largest sources of PM2.5 in normal times. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/24/coronavirus-detected-particles-air-pollution A number of studies link PM2.5 to a reduced immune response to viral infections and even increase the transmission of viral infections as well as reducing respiratory health; a temporary ban could be very important in slowing the effects of this awful virus. Even if just as a precaution, can we please consider temporarily banning burning of anything non essential that may lead to an increase PM2.5 levels Links 'How Air Pollution Makes The Coronavirus So Much More Dangerous Breathing dirty air damages our health and can create underlying conditions that dramatically elevate the risk of complications and death from COVID-19.' https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/20/air-pollution-may-be-key-contributor-to-covid-19-deaths-study https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/air-pollution-coronavirus-health_n_5e833c50c5b62dd9f5d5f50d 'Lockdown eases seasonal smog - but wood fires and farming continue to cause pollution...A study of the Sars epidemic in China suggested that infected people were more likely to die if their area had poor-quality air.' https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/02/lockdown-eases-seasonal-smog-pollution 'Air pollutants, especially PM2.5, PM10 ... can increase the risk of influenza like illnesses' https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-019-7607-2 https://twitter.com/atreeon/status/1245626899209916419

This is important because everyone is only really realising that the nhs do all the work whereas engineers, delivery drivers , cashiers , people Who stack shelves and even food suppliers are risking their lives as many people are personally I do not think it is fair

Delays and pausing to diagnosis and treatment will mean some cancers will be inoperable or beyond curative treatment. Cancer patients should not wait for Covid-19 to pass to receive the treatment they need. With the escalation of testing of staff and patients hospitals and hubs can be made safe for patients and staff can be treated safely and post operative complications minimised.

We all at some time in our lives need the NHS - let's fund it properly!! It is 'NOT FOR SALE ' IT BELONGS TO US - THE GENERAL PUBLIC Hospitals are NOT BUSINESSES - they are NOT businesses that need to make a profit

They have risked their lives on the frontline and saved so many lives

According to the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency 26% of all Covid 19 deaths in Northern Ireland to date are in Care Homes and hospices. https://www.nisra.gov.uk/sites/nisra.gov.uk/files/publications/Deaths%20Registered%20in%20NI%20-%20Week%2014%20-2020.pdf Many people living in residential and nursing homes are considered in the high-risk category. We must take every step we can to protect them. Widespread testing of residents and staff has not been taking place and there have also been significant shortages of personal protective equipment for staff.

Every single penny counts at this unprecedented time - you don't need to make him a hero - he already was one and he is even more of one now! OUR NHS needs everything we can give it - DOUBLE THE CASH
