Clap for carers

[mids2019]

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

I really can't work out what goes on in the minds of people who want to bring the clapping back? Are you bored? Stupid? Both?

No.

Although it did used to amuse me when the single neighbour who clapped used to wander around her driveway like a performing seal.

No. If you care about carers or nurses, stay the fuck inside.
Give to a charity supporting them, get them a meal delivered but don't insult them with utterly pointless noise and misplaced sentiment.

I'll go out and scream at the top of my lungs at 8pm every Thursday. There you go.

No

It was cringe worthy the first time.
So it's a nope from me.

No

Absolutely No!

Fucking NO. It was stupid enough the first time round, but it’s just kicking carers in the teeth at this point. Give frontline workers better pay and conditions, instead of clapping. That would be a bloody morale booster, feeling there was some compensation for going out and risking our health everyday,

Too fucking cold, too fucking useless.

Anyone who did the clapping last time was a pathetic twat IMO

So no bloody way.

God no!
My partner was woken along with our new born at 8pm when he had to get up for work at 1 for his supermarket shift delivering people’s food which was never considered as important!!

No as an NHS worker please show your support by;

Following lockdown rules

Looking after yourselves to stay healthy

Vote for a government that will properly compensate us for the job we do

Please stop wandering round hospitals trying to catch us out in 'covid lies' and please, please stop verbally abusing us, threatening to sue us, wait for us outside, because we are not answering Aunt Ethels buzzer 0.5 seconds BEFORE she presses it.

Most people are lovely but for the exceptional few treating NHS workers as people with worries, lives and existences outside of hospital and not robots that run on claps and free cereal bars goes a long way.

Slightly bitter rant from a NHS worker who had to do a 'community clap' to pay back all the 'claps for carers' recently 🤦‍♀️

Fuck right off

No f**ng way

Oh god no please! If you want to show your appreciation for us STAY INSIDE!

And wear a mask!

And don't vote Tory!

No

Ha ha ha... this thread

Why is there another thread about bloody clapping?

Boo thank you. What would help would be for men to Stay Away from their hiking/cycling/DIY jobs 😂 the first round all I can remember is rolling my eyes to the clapping because of spent all day patching Derek back together and patting his hand in the ambo. Didn't feel much like a hero at all

Oh bore off, last year the most ardent clappers happened to be the ones breaking the rules.

Best thing you can do is not spread the virus yourself by keeping the f away from other households wherever possible.

Please don’t. It’s embarrassing.

Carer here. No thanks.

I'd really like it if we had been given funding for the visiting pods we eventually had to build because our residents and their families were becoming depressed because they couldn't have any face to face contact with their families. A zoom call is all well and good but when your clientele is averaging over 80, with various stages of dementia or hearing problems or sight issues or general aversion to technology, it becomes very difficult. Families also get really arsey with you when the internet doesn't play ball and they expect you to turn into some kind of technical engineer while also trying to continue with the normal day to day of the home.

I'd also have really liked it if testing had been available to all care staff, not just NHS, back when it was getting bad.

Clapping once was a very nice gesture, but if anything it was bloody irritating because as a carer walking out of work at 8pm, you looked a bit of dick if you didn't join in because you just wanted to get home and shower after a 12hr shift in full PPE.

Sorry, bit of a tangent there.....
