A person was filmed wearing a dinosaur costume to a supermarket in Gorey, Co Wexford, as people across the country brace for the impact of the coronavirus.
The video shows a person dressed in the costume walking with a trolley from Tesco in the town towards the car park last weekend.
Those filming the strange encounter are heard laughing as the person gives them a wave before crossing the road at a zebra crossing.
The video has been shared online and has been viewed over 700 thousand times.
One viewer said: "Can't blame him. After being caught out and wiped out by the last catastrophe 65 million years ago, he's not taking any chances this time."
Another said: "Can't see those hazmat suits taking off in the hospitals."
And another viewer commented: "Couldn't find a face mask but then remembered that yoke he wore for the kids' sports day 20 years ago..."
