back during the beginning of the covid, was the whole "going to the window at a specific time to give an applause to the healthcare workers" also a thing in other countries?
- My mum was a nurse during this time. She wanted PPE and support from the government, not people clapping. She watched a lot of people die during that time, the clapping did not help.
- No other key workers got any amount of respect (at least in the UK)
- People started using it to be obnoxiously loud, and also it was the only thing they did (ie, no masking, no social distancing, etc)
@kitten The public broadcasters had a livestream set up on all the TV channels and everything to document the "spectacle", but it was so ridiculously underwhelming. Nobody was at the windows. You could hear like two people clapping and otherwise total silence lol
