New York City’s Nightly 7PM Cheer In Tribute To Healthcare Workers, Essential Workers

Since March 27, New Yorkers have taken part in a ritual of banging pots, applauding, screaming and making all kinds of noise in tribute to the healthcare workers, first responders and essential workers who put their lives on the line to save lives during the coronavirus health threat. Each night the “7PM Cheer” gets louder and more creative. God, I love NYers.

This past Sunday night, as the 7PM Cheer began to die down, a rainbow appeared over the city. At the same time, a man who apparently goes by the handle ‘John the Baptist’ ripped a tribute to Jimi Hendrix’s national anthem.
