O/T Who's going to their front door to applaud the NHS Staff at 8pm?

[Brin]

I am.

Wife is a Senior Midwife and our Daughter is a Health Care Assistant on the children's ward at RDGH.

My two angels there on the front line.

Thanks for the reminder Brin. Bless all the magnificent NHS staff.

Absolutely moved My Wife and myself to tears. The amount of neighbours on our street stood at their front doors, hanging out of windows and all clapping, bloody hell I'm crying while I'm typing this.

We Brits can hold our own in a crisis. Stiff upper lip or what?

All our street did it

[CAMiller]

I just did it here and I'm getting some funny looks from the dog walkers and joggers passing by

Watched a piece on TV last night featuring 4 nurses from the 'epicentre' of the breakout here in the US. a long term care centre where 37 people died. It's been getting a lot of bad press but watching it and listening to the 4 of them (all with 15+ years service) and what they were going through in the early days and the 'unknowns' had me in tears.

Great turnout on our street. Very heartwarming

Good stuff, but the NHS staff urgently need to be provided with adequate resources for testing and for medical equipment, otherwise they will end up being hospitalised themselves
