Front-line NHS staff deserve our gratitude, not abuse
TOM KING fears that, much as we might hope otherwise, the sad reality is that workers in our hard-pressed and short-staffed health service can expect some serious hostility as this pandemic sweeps the land
Love NHS

It was a nationwide celebration of the efforts being made, and the individual risks being taken, to treat the rapidly growing number of people suffering with, and dying from, Covid-19. 

It was also a very public and uncharacteristic display of appreciation — “everyone was very touched,” said my mum, a practice nurse, when she got home the following day — for a health service whose workers need all the support they can get.
