Imagine being in intensive care, surrounded by unmasked Mongrel Mob members. For days. The Police didn't turn up.

I'm ashamed that we tolerate all manner of threatening behaviour from a notorious criminal gang.

Unmasked gang members at hospital put ICU patients at risk, says mother

A teenage cancer patient's mother says she felt no one was willing to ask Mongrel Mob members in Christchurch Hospital's intensive care unit to put on a mask.

@BobLefridge ashamed is right. It is shameful. I often think the cops have no interest in taking on the gang members, they get away with whatever they want.

@BobLefridge I think limits should be put on visitors. Especially since our hospitals are so busy. Should be immediate family only or if no family limit of three at a time. There should be no preferential treatment. I would have been very cross also about the masking issue in the ICU.

Depending on the illness, if I was a patient in that situation I'd be looking to check myself out until the hospital is safe again.

@BobLefridge FWIW there are areas that usually require masks anyway, like the respiratory ward.
