Dear Colleagues,
we are collecting signatures of UK scientists and researchers to the attached statement related to the Cororavirus crisis. We believe that the UK Government should take stronger social containment actions in order to mitigate the exponential growth, and to avoid the NHS to collapse at a time when it is most needed.
If you want to be included as a signatory, please send an email from your institutional address with your name, title, and affiliation to Vincenzo Nicosia (QMUL) v.nicosia@qmul.ac.uk.
We will collect all the signatures and publish the letter through the media, keeping all the signatories updated in the process.
We would be grateful if you could circulate this among scientists in your communities.
