With the coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic, a new word, covidiot has begun to circulate on the internet.
The compound word covidiot, which combines the official designation of the coronavirus COVID-19 and the word idiot, began to spread after people in mass hysteria began to behave irrationally, buying large quantities of toilet paper, ignoring the suggestions of avoiding rallies or other restrictions to assist in theirs and others health and well being.
Covidiots have also been observed in Estonia.
Propastop’s appeal – Do not be a covidiot, stay at home!
