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.

Credit where credit is due, this is the best argument I've heard for it. In the current climate, I'm not sure that it's necessary, but the point remains.
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.
