A frustrated nurse has recorded herself shouting at a group of ‘absolute idiots’ hanging out in a park during coronavirus lockdown.
The viral video was shared on Facebook and shows the NHS nurse confronting the group who had been relaxing on a patch of grass while drinking beer.
“My husband is not getting paid. I have to go in and do overtime all the time. I have got two kids in there,” the NHS nurse told the group.
One of them told her ‘don’t stand near us then’ and she responded: “I have to go to work every day fearing I am going to be [a risk] to my family because of people like you!”
“You are absolute idiots,” she added.
One of the strangers told her to stop filming but she said: “No! If you’re gonna be stupid then I’ll show the world how stupid you are.
“Absolute idiots, why you think you’re better than everyone else, I’ve got no idea!”
As some of them started to leave, she told them: “That’s it, jog on!”
The nurse continued to film and said she will ‘quite happily stay here until the police get here.’
To stop the spread of the infection and help protect healthcare workers, the government told Brits to stay indoors wherever possible.
People are only permitted to go out to buy essentials, provide care for a vulnerable person, go to work, and exercise for one hour a day.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said in a press briefing: “However warm the weather, however tempting the beach or park, we need everyone to stay at home.
“NHS staff are battling day and night to keep desperately sick people breathing and they need you to stay at home.”
“Even if you are not directly involved… there is something that every one of us can do to play your part in the national effort,” he added. “Stay at home, because spreading the virus today risks lives tomorrow and increases pressure of those working in the NHS.
“Do it for them. For it for the people you love.”
