LOCKDOWNED AMERICANS HOWLING IN APPRECIATION OF THEIR MEDICAL TEAMS

Their nightly  poignant 'thankful' howl!

For the third Thursday night last week at 8pm, millions in the UK expressed their gratitude UK for all of our NHS medical and volunteer key workers workers by tremendous mass clapping sessions. Poised on doorsteps, verandas, and hospital forecourts, but, carefully observing the governmental rules on social spacing, we heard an amazing sound! Members of the British public gratefully turned out to give a nationwide round of thankful appreciation.

Then, speaking with our family in Denver, Colorado, we learn that some Americans are taking a moment each night at 8 o’clock to howl as a way of thanking their health care-workers and first responders who are also currently fighting this awful coronavirus pandemic. This nightly howl is an American twist on the balcony applause and singing for besieged health care-workers in Italy and Spain. It’s also become an unusual poignant outlet for those who are cooped up, isolated and anxious to reduce pain and loneliness, show support for the homeless, let out anger and frustration, and even let children yowl back and forth with the friends they can’t play with.
