Wtf. Why?
Patronising. Look after them instead.
(Ducks for cover)
NHS staff deserve our support with more equipment provided I don't think a clap makes any difference. I actually found it a bit cringeworthy & agree with the point you're making seeing it on the news.
Obviously there are good people that clap and want the best for NHS workers - just a feeling that quite a few clapping are just patting themselves on the back really, self congratulating themselves at how caring they are.
If we really care as a society for our emergency services we need to fully equip them all of the time not just in a time of crisis. The Police force numbers for example have been reduced massively under a Tory government yet they've come out and said how grateful they are for the key workers, bit sickening to be honest.
Well I work in medical supplies I can't work as I can't get tested.Things are tough across the system understandably every country in Europe and beyond wants every single item that is produced.We have just stuck two fingers up at Europe and guess where a lot of our goods have to come from?There are of course non European manufacturers USA and China yea right that sounds like they would be only too keen .We made our choice months ago without thinking this sort of thing was possible. The fact is you never know when you will need the person standing near to you .Or in countries case you never know when you need countries around you .I'm getting sick of these futile gestures,as you may have gathered. What f###i g use is clapping. If you really aporeciate these people then do something that actually helps them such as get protective equipment to them.
Why shouldn't people clap our workers ?
I for one will remain eternally grateful to our NHS , Police , Millitary , logistics and everyone else who will keep our country functioning through these difficult times.
It's not about lack of equipment , or your hatred of Boris/Tories/Trump.
It's about normal folk showing solidarity.
Some of you are sounding nasty .
The same fucking folk who engaged in panic buying and deprived NHS workers when they got off shift to find empty shelves; the same fucking folk who queued at supermarkets with their kids to stuff trolleys - they weren't two metres apart - and one infected person could easily pass on germs to two and a half people that in a week could be 400 or so and the same fucking folk who invaded parks and beaches and organised cycle races. And any of them dare to salute the NHS when their actions could lead to the deaths of some including NHS workers. We have every right to sound nasty because of those selfish bastards who jump on the clapping bandwagon.It's not about lack of equipment , or your hatred of Boris/Tories/Trump.

Cummings probably overruled the expertsFrom what I can see from the other side of the globe is that Boris is having to play catch-up.
He dropped the ball with the herd immunity policy.
Whoever is doing the advising has got him on the right track at last.
Fuck me .Cummings probably overruled the experts
