• Maybe if you know a neighbour who works in the NHS you could post a thank you note through their door (just don't sneeze on it first), or if you see them in the street/hallway you can say thank you in person (from a safe distance). Clapping out the window is a dumb idea from dumb people, it's because they saw a video of some people doing it in Italy.

  • Shoot me down if I have this wrong, but isn't this up there with 'Bung Big Ben a Bob for a Bong' levels of patronising?
    The NHS need: Trained staff, PPE, people staying indoors - (amongst other things obvs).
    Not aimed at you @Sumo obvs.

  • What we really need is for people to still be accepting of key workers perceived freedom and likely relative financial stability with the quarantine in 3 weeks/ months, when we've passed or are in the peak, and all of us are exhausted, and the British public are coping with the emotional and financial repercussions that are brewing now.

    There are many beyond exhausted now. There are many more of us just gearing up.
    It is a very, very strange working atmosphere, which varies massively from one hospital to the next.
    For those of us waiting the 'tsunami' looks like a ripple at the moment, for those up close and being hammered the view is substantially different.

    Personally- I feel like hugging my tesco delivery driver each week. I won't though- for obvious reasons.
    My point is The substructure of support in this massive organisation and beyond is what is truly awesome at the moment.
