Thousand of health workers around the world signed a petition against quarantine

A petition against quarantine measures appeared on the web on October 13, 2020. It was signed by 23 thousand doctors and 9 thousand specialists of health care. They believe quarantine affects all spheres of everyday life.

400 thousand people, who also preoccupied about the consequences of quarantine, supported doctors.

Isolation aimed at the health support, but in reality, it just worsens the situation. People faced cardiovascular diseases, the number of screenings for cancer has decreased, and vaccination campaigns for children have partially stopped, according to the statistics. Quarantine affected psychological state: people can’t be isolated for a long time.

Coronavirus doesn’t pose a big threat to young people, so the authorities have to focus on risk groups. Other people have to get back to the normal life, of course, observing all rules. Thus, maintain simple hygiene measures, and in case of illness, stay at home.

The majority of health care workers believe that isolation does more harm than good. People become irritable and acquire bad habits, such as smoking and drinking alcohol. But at the same time, a lot of health care workers don’t agree with the petition.
