Rejected petition End the lockdown and all covid restrictions in Wales.

We are now stuck in a never ending cycle of lockdowns every time the NHS gets overwhelmed. The goal posts keep moving for getting back to normal, yet in the previous ten years the NHS has been in crisis every single Winter.
Lockdowns aren't working, unless by 'working' you mean creating a massive NHS backlog, destroying what's left of the economy, education, and our physical, emotional and mental health.

Instead, increase funding and staffing so hospitals can cope with Winter every year.
