As I understand it, the NHS need masks, gowns and gloves as well as trained staff.
Tell me how you think that clapping every Thursday will provide any of these.
Srsly, I'm interested to know.

It won’t help one bit. But the hospital staff, delivery drivers, supermarket staff and everyone else working to keep you and me comfortable will know they continue to be appreciated.

Widespread, vocal approval of the work done by key workers makes it more politically expensive to leave them under protected, underfunded, overworked.
It’s been criticised for being ‘performative’ but I think that’s the point. Like protest, it’s an expression of public feeling that may sway political feeling.
