Covid-19 it's a shit storm! I have the up most respect for the nhs before I get flamed!
But why are other key workers not being appreciated? Alls I can see is oh the nhs are great, the care workers and supermarket staff are great yet I've hardly seen any appreciation for other key works I.e lorry drivers that are delivering all the food, all the PPE, farmers that are still working to provide milk etc. All the school/nursery/childminders that are open to provide childcare for all the key workers so that they can still work? Why are they not being shown more appreciation?

You're half right - there are underappreciated key workers. But you've got some crap examples there. The NHS appreciation isn't just because they're doing an important job, it's because they're putting their own lives on the line. Lorry drivers aren't really facing any risk.

@ThePants999 fair enough the lorry drivers but what about the schools that aren't allowed to wear PPE? The nhs children who's parents are still going home at the end of a shift then their children are coming into school the next day?

That's why I said you're half right.

It means I Am Being Unreasonable.

A little bit like Am I Being Unreasonable but with the first two words switched around.
