Clap for carers

[mids2019]

Given the current pressures and having a bit more enforced time should clap for carers restart?

No thanks

As a carer, no

I’d go with encouraging your nearest and dearest to consider their political allegiances. It has more chance of making change happen, though it will be slow.

NO!

Give them money ffs

@Aspiringmatriarch

Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen.

Love this 😅

Please no.

No

Why? The government have laughed in the faces of nurses during this. A clap ain't gonna help them.

Clapping in the street is grim.

Dear god no!

No. It will send out estate morons off again, wanting all the activities doing, listing all the nhs workers on the estate as heroes, and proclaiming the rest of us ought to do a collect for them (the one who would have properly come into contact was halfway through maternity leave.....) whilst ignoring the shop workers, and other key workers on the estate, complaining we weren’t all community minded because people wanted to relax after work. And then had a fecking driveway party for ve day and new years eve! If we clapped for everyone who was actually helping keeping the country going alongside the nhs, we would be there til sunday each week

Yes absolutely, on you go. See how much noise you can make on your doorstep, you will be saving hundreds of lives 🙄.

No not again.
I have my whole life on hold reducing the spread for the nhs that'll do.

Guess a straw poll would be no then...

Could I put forward a counter argument as a morale boost for pressured ICUs..

Morale issues in the NHS are widely publicised..

Fuck no. Please don’t.

No definitely not. I don't think a lot people get 2 hoots about the NHS. So many people don't respect guidelines and to me that's the same a sticking a finger up to the NHS.

Fuck no.

No, no, no. It became unbearably cringe here by the end of last lockdown, put me right off some of my neighbours.
I wouldn't take part again.
Boo for Boris....

Could I put forward a counter argument as a morale boost for pressured ICUs..

Do you work in an ICU?

God no, I hated the fucking clapping!

I think it made my neighbors feel better for their loose interpretation of the rules last time,

Just stay home and follow the rules, leave NHS and care staff to do their job and please don’t even think about clapping🤣🤣

No.

If you want to help campaign/sign petitions for better pay and better working conditions.

Sincerely,

a carer on 12 hour plus night shifts and if you start banging pans again while I'm trying to sleep I will cry.

Oh for god same fuck off! Is this all people can think about ahead of an announcement which is going to majorly impact people's life's!? You need to get a grip

As a care worker, no.

If you really want to show your appreciation start a collection to give to the staff of a local home to supplement their minimum wage, or for a local hospital for the workers. Buy a key worker a weeks shopping, or try and do something that'll actually physically help. I'm on my 9th consecutive day/night of working due to being short staffed because of others in SI or being positive. Right now I'd really appreciate someone else doing my shopping, walking my dog or doing one of the 101 things I need done at home. Realise that's impossible really but I'll be well pissed off if I'm woken up one evening by a racket when I'm trying to sleep around these shifts as well as mangling my life.

*managing my life, but actually mangling is more accurate!

I want to but only because I want to see life on my street again. 😬😬
