Coronavirus

[Rico1304]

So the doctors are chronically underfunded hero’s whilst at the same time being government shills.  Instead of clapping them we should be booing them but given 5 minutes on Sky they are masters of bringing the government to account.  It’s complicated, I’ll give you that. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Some CNN newscast is tweeting that the total Italian death figure includes 51 doctors. 

 

I think our numbers will be high too if all the stuff we're hearing about inadequate PPE is accurate.

Didn’t the clapping thing start in Spain a couple of weeks ago?

[Bobby Hundreds]

Pisses me of these Giant companies making huge sums wanting bailout money when they use every damn trick in the book to avoid paying tax.

 

I thought the clapping was a nice simple gesture of appreciation from people directly to the frontline workers in their community.

Yeah every night they were hanging out the windows applauding them. 

 

I expect those criticising it don't ever say well done and give anyone a pat on the back.

 

Or Thank You with genuine warmth.

Bill Turnbull in Room 101 now, he wants to put sneezing in room 101.  Should have listened to Bill.

It has certainly been all over Europe for a couple of weeks. Even the time is always the same.

Spain and Italy seem to be the more organic start of it yeah

I think coronavirus anxiety has turned me into a weeb for tonight too, currently drinking miso soup inbetween buying Yakuza games for the PS4.

WHAT?!

 

This is the mother of all conspiracy theories and you are drinking miso on the couch?

 

You were worried about emails  a few years ago and now China and Russia have just created the GREAT EQUALIZER!!??

Yup, appaulding them going to and from work.   Which made quite a bit of sense. 

 

However hanging out your window appaulding no one makes zilch.  Typical social media shite.

Don’t worry, once we are out of Europe we can take back our own time, go back to region time zones and blow community minded shows of compassion and appreciation right back where they fucking came from!

I just think there's more important things they need. Appreciation is definitely a nice thing to get but they need a lot more than just that.

Might be me being cynical but like alot of social media stuff seems more intended for those doing it than those it's for. How about throw a pound a week into a fund for them. 

 

As said, hot meals and just staying indoors would do far more good for them. 

 

I'm still having to work even with a stay home for 3vmonths letter as nobody from my HR has bothered to get back in touch and confirm about pay, though I fully expect them to say if you want to stay off do but we are not paying you. 

 

The roads where still fairly busy, the local DIY/Home and Garden store car park was nearly full. 

 

Fuck clapping stay inside and stop spreading this shit around instead. 

 

Same with all the people moaning about Ashley and that cunt that owns weatherspoons. A large number out clapping, will probably be standing in a weatherspoons pub garden moaning about A&E waiting times within a month of this ending. 

 

Nice gesture but do something that'll make a difference in the long run. 

I know what you mean there about it being more for themselves, it's a bit like FB antics, the look at me thing and the grief fest that people do.. 

[SasaS]

It's not just for them. It's also for the people doing it. People isolated at home.

[cloggypop]

Gives the people clapping a lift as well of course. Think the country probably needs it right now. 

[cloggypop]

SasaS knows.

Appreciating them shouldn't be starting to be publicly shown now. It should always have been there. But a large amount of people do nothing but put them down, whinge and act cunts when in hospital. 

 

14 fucking million people voted for this cunt of a government and you can bet a large portion of them are out in the streets clapping away

Yep. Whenever someone gets me a birthday card I hand it back and say thanks but I need a yacht.

I never went out and clapped. Do I fall into that category ?

Neither did I. I forgot about it until about 20 past. But to be fair it would have been pointless where I am. 

 

Im not being a cock about it and trying to look contrary for the sake of it though. Are you? If so then yes .

What if someone posts it but you never see it? Would you still want the yacht then?
