All NHS staff and key workers to be given medals at the end of the coronavirus.
I think this is simple request a medal for all NHS staff and key workers (including people in the food industry that are helping to keep our shops going). Everyone that serves in wars receive medals and this virus is a war of its own just an invisible enemy. For their kindness and bravery.
I would like this to be done as all these people are risking there lives to ensure if we fall ill that we have the best chance to survive. They have to tirelessly deal with this day in day out. They are kind and brave and need to be recognised at the end of this. This is the same of other key workers. I am lucky and can hide at home but they do not have that luxury. They are not superhuman and nothing will affect them but they are Superheroes and all Superheroes deserve a medal.
