THIS elderly couple have said they are too terrified to go to daily Mass after a stranger deliberately coughed into their masked faces as part of a sick new craze called the ‘Corona Challenge’. The Co Kildare couple believe they are victims of a prank which has spread rapidly across the globe on the social media site, TikTok. The so-called ‘Corona Challenge’ involves preying on vulnerable people by trying to frighten them about catching the deadly virus. The couple – who are too scared to be identified – reveal the incident happened on Thursday afternoon in Naas, Co. Kildare. He jumped off his feet and coughed right into our faces as we were passing him.
