Watching the news coverage of the 8pm Thursday clap for the NHS/carers, am I alone in thinking that each week they seem to feature streets where the inhabitants are all disregarding the 2m social distancing rule? Seems a bit counter-intuative if its encouraging neighbours with front doors in close proximity to linger together each week.
I get the sentiment and our family take to the doorstep for a few minutes of furious appreciation each Thursday (I definitely didn't vote Tory BTW) but I worry that by thanking the front line staff many are inadvertently putting more pressure on the system. At least based on the (most likely non representative) sample shown on TV news.
