I'm an essential worker who has to be up by 2AM. The 8PM clap completely interrupts my sleep.

Cant believe people are doing this, it reminds me of those who change their Facebook profile pic after a tragedy and act as if their helping in some way

Why just for the nhs? There's still a lot of other people working that's keeping the country going.

clapping in crowds seems to be more important than social distancing.

Does anyone else find the clapping in poor taste?

I appreciate what the nhs dose hugely but it isn’t over yet don’t use this as an excuse to congregate and possibly spread it

Glad to see that I'm not the only one that finds the clapping ritual eerie. . Amazing how these social engineers Achieve total gullibility and obedience in so many folk....

Instead of A round of applause how about a hefty pay rise! I hope after all this we all remember our nurses and bus drivers and supermarket workers. These jobs are essential to our country. After this is all over We need to re evaluate what’s really important in society look at the bankers bonuses for example makes me sick when the country is in crisis it’s the working class minimum wage workers that are holding it all together.

No disrespect to the NHS workers of course but all of that was pure virtue signaling and cringey.

Gathering for just clapping, brilliant. Much better than stay in the home. /s
