I do clap and love this way of showing appreciation, but it loses its point if it becomes compulsory. Also, (1) if this nosey neighbour is so knowledgeable about who is clapping or not, then she may be getting a bit less than two metres from people; (2) the time spent on complaining on Facebook could have been more profitably spent on, for example, writing to her MP to ask for more PPE for carers.
