“I’m disgusting, but mostly sad,” Matthew Lee said tweeted with video he shot the hundreds of protesters outside London St Thomas’ Hospital.
“I wish people could see the amount of COVID-19 and deaths in hospitals, and the sacrifices that health workers make. This week alone has been so tough. Their ignorance hurts others. I really wish people would keep themselves safe.”
