Although anyone volunteering deserves respect as do all NHS staff we the British public as ever lose our collective minds and jump on the bandwagon of the obvious.
However let’s get one thing straight here the keyword is volunteer!
You join the NHS or any emergency service and you accept that facing these risks may be part of the job. Many NHS staff are low paid I accept they but all the same it’s what they are paid for. People can grandstand all they like but that’s the fact.
Ditto volunteers, great though they are they know the risks.
The real hero’s in my book are those who never signed up for any of this. The checkout girls, the delivery men etc. The lowest paid of them all and they are still working. Nobody gave them a choice or patted them constantly on the back the way almost anyone in the NHS seems to expect as a right. No protective equipment or testing for these people as they continually get breathed on by the ungrateful public!
Who was clapping them the other night? No like sheep were too busy virtue signalling the obvious. Makes me puke at times.
So as others have noted, if you want to help then do so without a constant need for validation and self publicity that some seem to have.
This is probably not the case with this lad but I certainly distrust the motives of some.
