Skerries Covid Party

Pretty sure this is going to break very soon and make national news. In before the sh1tshow starts...

Prepare to be outraged.

Following out of curiosity...

billybonkers · 31-08-2020 10:18pm

This happening now? Or was it over the weekend?

wizardman · 31-08-2020 10:20pm

There ain't no party like a S Club Party Skerries Covid Party.

Reddit Ireland

TikTok vid doing the rounds of girls from North Dublin bragging about possibly getting/spreading Covid.

I don't want to post the vid, as all the girls name themselves, their tags are evident, and I'm not entirely sure all them are over 18.

So the story is about 35 girls booked a party bus to take them down the country for a mini-debs type scenario. At least two of the girls had recently tested positive for covid.

The girls then make a series of tiktoks guessing who will be the next to test positive, posting pictures of them licking each others faces and bragging about how they like to share drinks with others when they are drunk.
All the girls work in retail/restaurants around the same town. All them are due in to school (6th year) on Wednesday.

How can people be so dim and selfish!?

edit: People looking for some kind of proof.

All Gaa and Soccer canceled in the town as girls were on teams. https://imgur.com/a/mgG7vOv

edit 2: Latest suggestion is that the girls were working in cafes and pubs over the weekend while they waited on their tests to come back.

I'm outraged out. Can't give a c*ap.

2ndcoming · 31-08-2020 10:24pm

Seems all sports clubs in Skerries have cancelled all activities as well.

Away With The Fairies · 31-08-2020 10:24pm

WTF?

Away With The Fairies · 31-08-2020 10:25pm

I have zero sympathy for them if anything bad happens to them.

Hawthorn Tree · 31-08-2020 10:26pm

I am beside myself with rage. Or am I.

Same thing has been happening in the states for a while.

I wonder how much truth there is in this. Could very easily be doing it purely for attention and none of them actually have it.

Of course if it is true then they're a selfish bunch of arseholes and will hopefully at least be ridiculed for some time for their sheer stupidity.

Vote for President Dwayne Mountain Dew Camacho 2020.

Classy.

Looking at that though, it just looks like kids spoofing to go viral and get those Tik Tok likes

mikeym · 31-08-2020 10:32pm

Can we lockdown Co.Dublin please.

Too many muppets and tinfoil vests not following the guidelines.

Better get their parents to resign just to be sure.

ACitizenErased · 31-08-2020 10:36pm

There's a TikTok trend at the moment of people guessing which of their friends are going to test positive. 99% are fake. Not sure about this one though.

milli milli · 31-08-2020 10:37pm

If it is real (could be a spoof like another poster suggested) it’s a pity they can’t be arrested to make an example to others.
A girl coughed in a garda’s face at the start of the pandemic and was subsequently arrested.

They're all under 18 though

If future gangsters can push a poor woman into a river and get away with it then it'll be the same here

AdamD · 31-08-2020 10:45pm

At no point in the video do they say anything which suggests they were trying to spread it? This could be completely made up

I don't see where the whole COVID party thing is coming from that video tbh, it sounds to me as if there was a party, and some subsequently tested positive from it.

It's very different and absolutely non comparable in context. The scumbag behaviour is at the same level though.

If this party grows to a huge outbreak it's a whole different ball game.

Atlantic Dawn · 31-08-2020 10:51pm

It's all fun and games until they try to spread it to the wrong person and he executes them.

IAMAMORON · 31-08-2020 10:51pm

The law of diminishing marginal outrage is beginning to apply.

Its over guys.

ExMachina1000 · 31-08-2020 10:52pm

Its clearly fake. Like obviously blatantly fake

J. Marston · 31-08-2020 10:54pm

This will be deleted. Someone on Reddit said they got an email threatening legal action.

They sound like plenty of their Daddies and Mammies are in power positions.

Good luck with that is my guess. Its blowing up tonight on twitter. That genie is hard to put back in the bottle.

Are you gone daft? What are they doing that even remotely indicates they should be arrested and made an example of? J. Christ. A bunch of kids posting on social media. They're not hurting anyone. Teenage nonsense./pranks/dares.
I'd shudder to think what you'd suggest for people who commit real crimes.
ETA if they have committed serious crimes, fair enough investigate them but on the basis of that tiktok there's nothing in that.

Probably someone saying I'll sue, completely ignorant of whether they can or not

They just have to be taking the p*ss. That or they're brain-dead.

Oranage2 · 31-08-2020 11:07pm

I'm actually too shocked to believe this.

Hopefully none of them get seriously ill but it was extremely irresponsible(if true). But this was extremely stupid, can't see how anyone can defend their actions. (if true)

IAMAMORON · 31-08-2020 11:08pm

It looks like a bored prank tbh.

Some of them do sound like they might have a learning difficulty though.

cannotlogin · 31-08-2020 11:11pm

Not the wisest or most mature group of young ones but based on the video alone, it could simply just be a case of one testing positive and then the rest guessing who will also be positive given they were socialising together previously.

Immature, yes but no worst than that. Save the outrage until there's something to be outraged about.

normanoffside · 31-08-2020 11:11pm

I’m shocked at the accents they have in Skerries.

Second only to the daily mail.

I asked Paddy power what odd of the daily mail running a story on this even though it's likely to be a prank.

They said that they don't take bets on dead certs

name and shame, high fines or if minors high fines for the parents

will the reopened schools there have to be closed?

I've just seen the video for the first time there and, wow, embarrassed for all concerned. Not just KPMG girl

I won't link it as, if memory serves, it was banned on Boards and YouTube at the time after the girl's father took legal action

Suffice to say, that if the Pub restrictions are extended, all the government have to do is play this video at the briefing and say "Here's why we think you're not ready for it yet lads ..."

If this is not true, this is a bit more serious that the typical teenage prank, it's akin to shouting fire in a crowded theatre.

Say it doesn't ton out to be true, this series of videos will likely lead to the suspension of sport in Skerries, and investigations to get to the bottom of it.It may also spark localized lock downs and other tightening of restrictions in the north dublin area.

If it's a joke, no one is laughing.

Polar101 · 31-08-2020 11:34pm

Not sure why anyone would post something like that on social media, but my outrage meter needs a bit more to get going. Such as a cluster showing up in Skerries.

punisher5112 · 31-08-2020 11:34pm

What absolute fcuking retards this generation seems to be....
Tiktok is a load of balls too.

These tools think it's hilarious

s1ippy · 31-08-2020 11:36pm

Is Tiktok private between friends or an open format where anyone can see? I thought it was probably maggot-acting at first but I'd say it's a prank now. Why would they say their name at the start like it's AA or something.

Although the GAA Club in Skerries is closed because of multiple confirmed cases and clusters which have spread into the community because of close contact at training and parties so it's not outside the realms of possibility that those girls are a bunch of dense twits.

Ohmeha · 31-08-2020 11:39pm

Horrible disgusting insensitive b!tches, I have family in the town and my elderly parents with underlying conditions regularly travel down there and were only down there the other day which will cause them so much concern
