England all-rounder Ben Stokes has slammed people who came out in a large number to show their support for NHS (National Health Service) and putting their and other’s lives in danger.

UK has already reported more than 1 lakh COVID-19 positive cases and yet no strict lockdown rules have been enforced.

A large gathering in London was seen clapping for the NHS, ironically adding to their workload and threatening to exponentially raise the number of COVID-19 cases in the area.

The World Health Organization has asked everybody to maintain social distancing to avoid the spread of the Coronavirus but it is not being followed in what is considered as the heart of England.

Ben Stokes retweeted the video of the incident in a sarcastic manner. He wrote, “Let go to the bridge tonight and clap with loads of other people to show our support for the NHS, it’s fine if we put other people at risk as long as we get seen on camera clapping I’m cool with it” SERIOUSLY
