Exactly. All of them. 
Yes, all services are important - in varying degrees. Including road sweeping and refuse collection.
But, on any list of critical services, the NHS will be firmly entrenched at the very top.

Oh I'm not saying they don't do a great job in difficult circumstances, but not exclusively.
Seems ridiculous to me that the very people in my street doing the most enthusiastic loudest are the ones regularly breaching the social distancing rules.
I am "spatially raped" wherever I go. 
If you were that bothered about the NHS staff (even if you couldn't give a monkeys about the poor buggers you might kill) you would stay away from people, wouldn't you?
By the way, I have no idea how the Neil Diamond video ended up here.
Honey, the brief contravention of social distancing regulations - by supporters of Clap for Care - is hardly relevant to NHS personnel.
And you say NHS work is not 'exclusive' - please tell us who else does such care work in the UK, to any meaningful extent?
It only takes a "brief" breach of social distancing to infect someone, and it is relevant to NHS staff because it puts them in more danger and gives them more work and more stress.
There should be no exceptions, to give it the best chance of working.
Of course we are all grateful to everyone that helps us, but my need to voice my thanks does not trump your need to stay alive. |

Clapping instead of Jazz hands? Is this going to trigger a major anxiety epidemic? |
