Readers criticized a video showing young people in a ‘confinement’, which they called “disrespectful to the NHS”.
ECHO received a video clip that appears to show a group of youth in a forest rave in the Fazakerley area.
Loud dance music is heard in the background and the youngsters seem to be dancing together.
The delusion is believed to have taken place this weekend, but this cannot be confirmed.
Social gatherings of this type have been banned due to blocking rules aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus that has claimed more than 30,000 lives in the UK.
Our report on the incident divided opinions among readers and some quickly condemned the apparent ‘delusion’ in a time of national emergency in violation of the blockade rules.
William Szymanski Syme said: “I feel sorry for the doctors and nurses who will see you in the next 14 days.”
Linda Cavanagh said, “Your parents have no control over them? No one likes to be trapped inside.”
Ian Walker said, “If you live at home, hold your parents accountable and fine.”
Another commenter said, “How hard is it for them to understand ‘staying home to protect the NHS and save lives.'”
Another Facebook user said: “This was on Saturday and right behind my house. Nightmare.”
However, many others, although they did not tolerate “delirium,” expressed skepticism that anything could be done to stop social gatherings of this type.
Other readers suggested that other people meeting at beaches and parks was a bigger problem.
Diane Green said: “They are never going to stop you, just take care of yourself and take responsibility for your own lives as they are with theirs.”
Ray Lee Adams said: “Everyone hiding inside was afraid to go out, they would all have been theirs in their youth, it is a bit hypocritical to criticize those who did what you would have done.”
Jase Mcelroy said: “We are all older and perhaps wiser, but if this were in the 1990s, most of us would have been there.”
But this view was directly criticized by other readers who pointed out that there was no global pandemic that resulted in a national blockade during his teens.
Steven DeMort said: “It’s funny, I don’t recall that there was a pandemic that resulted in a global shutdown in the 1990s.”
ECHO has forwarded the video of the Fazakerley meeting to the Merseyside police.
