One of the thousands of important nurses who are working hard on the frontline trying to help the public during this coronavirus crisis was coughed on by a stupid gang of around 20 Dublin teenagers this week while she was out jogging.

The healthcare worker was moving along the seafront in Clontarf after finishing night duty in a Dublin hospital when she was confronted by the group who were on bikes.

She tried to pass but the gang of teen covidiots blocked her path and began to repeatedly cough on her as part of a sick ongoing joke in the capital.

She told local Facebook group LoveClontarf that she wanted to highlight the stupidity and danger that the teens could possibly be causing to the public.

The post reads: "During her jog, a group of approx 15 - 20 young boys on bikes were blocking the path.

"They refused to move out of peoples' way (including an elderly man).

"As the lady approached she asked them to move. They continued to block the path and ignored her.

"Quite unbelievably, the boys then followed her coughing towards her dramatically, thinking it is a funny joke."

Gardai have said that they are aware of these social media reports and have also come across similar incidents in the capital.
