#7pmCheer

Nightly applause for healthcare workers.

Origin & Impact

Starting in UK and spreading globally, #7pmCheer had people cheering from windows and balconies for healthcare workers. The ritual created community moments during isolation and expressed gratitude to frontline workers.

Critics noted applause didn’t replace proper PPE or hazard pay, but the gesture provided morale boost during darkest pandemic days.
