From The Irish Times, Fri Mar 27 2020 - 08:47
At 8pm on Thursday, March 26th 2020, front doors opened, windows were unlocked and they gathered in streets and on balconies against a backdrop of beeping car horns as Ireland applauded its healthcare and front line workers fighting the coronavirus pandemic
As far as any professions go, it is a long-lived appreciation for medical staff ad gatdaí but this was different – this was coronavirus and a selfless front line response.
A country gripped by sudden uncertainty and largely confined indoors briefly put aside its fears over health and economy and came out in unison to recognise those taking the biggest risk in this global pandemic.
.
.
It was a strange unifying act, one that ultimately slowly gave way to the same silence and lonely streets that has become the new normal.
And to a lingering appreciation of what healthcare workers might be applauded for in the weeks to come.
