That probably isn't a text from an NHS worker, its the usual crap pushed out on Facebook that originated with someone with ulterior motives.

There seems to be a lot of 'project fear' types mudding the already muddy waters at this time.

Indeed, and thats why FB and Twitter should have been switched off at the start of this crisis.

cue millions of millennials cowering under their beds sucking thumbs and weeping - not good for the cause me thinks

My point was though not people calling NHS heroes though, it was NHS workers claiming appreciation for nothing.

Has there been much of that happening?

TBF we'd probably all go without for a week and then realise how completely toxic it all is.

A lot of millennials are now in their mid-30s getting on with work to pay their mortgage while their kids are also now off school.

These weirdos who put the fake ‘my friend is a scientist/doctor’ stuff out love exclamation marks though.

I apologise - should of said - Generation Z'ers and Generation alphas.
Being a generation X'er im not totally up to date with the current age demographics.

Yes, they can root for heroes.

Those are the ones in masks and ppe who are treating the people on the wards right now. Generally it is no different to any other time neither, doctors and nurses generally save lives day to day even without a virus going about.

The image of a nurse right now should be championed , always should be the case.

My point was though not people calling NHS heroes though, it was NHS workers claiming appreciation for nothing. Thank you NHS I assume is for the tireless work right now saving lives during this crisis. Not for someone whos job is nothing to do with treating people.

The sentiment for the NHS is absolutely spot on. How many of us have had a loved one cared for or even saved because of doctors and especially nurses? Long overdue they get a little bit of love to this extent from the general public.

Admin staff can save lives in a round about way, some of my staff process cancer patients for example so it's down to them to get patients into the care system asap. Not taking that away from them, they do a brilliant job. And yes every single person in the NHS plays a part in making it work.

Doesn't make them hero's by default though, myself included

A colleague of mine put something on her facebook the other night about herself and other NHS heroes being proud to fight the good fight. She'd gone into self isolation the first day it all kicked off claiming a cough and hasn't been seen since. I know what you're saying mate.

On clapping, the best way you can show your appreciation to NHS workers is not voting Tory.
