Clap For Carers: Millions Once Again Applaud Key Workers On The Coronavirus Frontline
The UK has once again broken out in to applause in a national tribute to the NHS staff and other key workers who are on the coronavirus frontline.
For the second week in a row, millions took to their balconies and doorsteps to clap and cheer, while vehicles sounded their horns at 8pm on Thursday evening.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson emerged from self-isolation to join in. Bagpipers took to the streets in Scotland, while families banged pans and fireworks were let off around the country.Clapping for our brilliant NHS and social care workers with ⁦@JeaneF1MSP⁩ outside ⁦@scotgov⁩ HQ at 8pm.

You are great 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/jpeucbBeGN— Westbourne Fire Station (@DWFRSWestbourne) April 2, 2020Johnson appeared briefly on the steps of Number 10 to join in, the first time he has been seen in person since announcing he had been diagnosed with Covid-19 last week.
He told those gathered outside: “I am not allowed out really, I am just standing here.”
Bagpipers across Scotland also performed a tune to show their appreciation for key workers, while Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish government gathered on the steps of Holyrood.
Finlay MacDonald, 42, of Clarkston in East Renfrewshire, took part in the Pipe Up! For The Key Workers! event.
He said: “It was great, a really special moment – all our neighbours were out in their gardens with a rousing round of applause.
“This is our way of entertaining people and showing our appreciation to key staff who are keeping us safe.”Bagpipers were urged by the National Piping Centre to play Scotland The Brave in their own neighbourhoods.
Meanwhile, emergency services personnel sounded their sirens to show their appreciation.
The first Clap For Carers took place on Thursday, March 26 and is expected to continue on a weekly basis. ITV paused its programming as part of the tribute.Related...

Mary Trump 'energized' as uncle 'Donald's campaign spirals into chaos'
Mar 29, 2024
Donald Trump's campaign is in chaos, and his niece says she's energized.Mary Trump, the niece of the former president and a psychologist by trade, has previously been critical of her uncle.On Thursday, she said her uncle's failures are adding up.ALSO READ: A neuroscientist reveals how Trump and Biden's cognitive impairments are different"As the RNC’s fundraising falters and Donald’s campaign spirals into chaos, I am energized!" she said in a Substack post.She then continued:"When Donald dominates the news cycle, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed. Every bad headline has a negative impact. But then I remember something crucial: There’s usually more to the story than meets the eye. I’m determined to cut through the media noise and share with you all the good that happened this week. These are the headlines we need to remain energized and hopeful that the media largely ignored."Mary Trump goes on to highlight President Joe Biden's recent fundraising hauls."President Biden’s $155 million+ war chest has just received another turbo boost, bringing the total of cash on hand to at least $180 million. (By comparison, between his campaign and the RNC, Donald barely has over $50 million — and continues to drain the accounts to cover his absolutely staggering legal expenses)," she wrote. "This is a development that could significantly increase Biden’s ability to influence the narrative in crucial swing states."This, she says, also tells us a lot about voter excitement for Biden."While critics have expressed doubts about the degree to which the Democratic base is fired up as compared to 2020, today’s $25 million fundraiser, raised with donations ranging from $250 to $500,000, should put any doubts to rest — yes, we are absolutely behind President Biden and Vice President Harris and we’re in this fight until the end," she wrote.Read the full post here.
