The government has finally agreed that it has royally screwed up the pandemic response as ‘clap for Carers’ comes back for season two.
It’s expected that the uptick in people suffering hypothermia every Thursday evening at eight o’clock will put emergency services under unprecedented pressure, while the social pressure on those who have studiously ignored the social distancing rules may eventually put the mental health resources under increasing pressure, although most of them will probably still be out socialising at the time of the clap.
A NHS spokesperson confirmed that the operational staff welcomed the public support but noted it was at the bottom of a very long wish list that already included more staff, PPE, sleep, shafting Matt Hancock and pay.
