30 Times People Encountered ‘Covidiots’ Who Think Covid-19 Is Nothing Serious And Decided To Shame Them Online
With more than 37 million Covid-19 cases globally, more than 1 million of which have been fatal, the global pandemic has changed our lives beyond recognition. And as we’re about to approach the second viral wave, everyone has become witness to the grim reality.
Except for the virus deniers who either see it as a conspiracy theory or think that it’s some kind of joke "simple" people, like you and me, fell for. It’s both scary and hard to wrap one's head around how ignorant some of us can be, and below are the most recent examples that have been surfing around on social media.
From Santa who can just as well bring a virus to your ho-ho-home, to fishnet face coverings that prioritize design over protection, it makes me wonder how many wake-up calls we're still gonna need.

I Drive For Uber, And Since No One Pays Attention To The Covid Notices When They Book The Ride, I Started Sending Everyone This Advance Pickup Message. It's Not Working Like I'd Hoped
It’s crazy to think that for some people, coronavirus doesn’t really exist. Thinking of the viral pandemic causing one of the biggest turmoils in recent history as a joke has to do with many various reasons. One of the most dangerous ones, is the overflow of incorrect information about coronavirus still surfing around various channels, from social media to television.
Fake COVID-19 news creates a fictional bubble where people see themselves as being a part of conspiracy, a global hoax that is playing tricks on them. Worst, the collective distrust in obvious tragedy escalates the spread of misinformation further and people get tied to the never-ending flow of COVID-myths.
But separating truth from fiction in the times of pandemic can literally save lives. Thus, Bored Panda reached out to the Babylon Health doctor Claudia Pastides, who agreed to share some of the most common COVID-19 myths that have been flourishing online.
Pos Pretends To Be Disabled To Try And Get Out Of Wearing A Mask
Horrendous! My 11 year old son with Autism and sensory problems wears his face mask with no problems at all. He understands the importance for the welfare of those around him and clearly has more common sense than the idiots who carry these cards around!!!!

Lana Del Rey's Mesh Mask
Okay, put a cotton lining behind the mesh, and you’re golden—-you can choose any color to blend, contrast, or complement the metallic mesh. Why is this so effing difficult to think of?
First, some people still believe that hand sanitizers don’t actually kill the virus. Claudia debunked the myth and explained: “Even though this is true for a few strains of viruses, like the norovirus that causes stomach bugs, it’s not the case with coronaviruses.”
She added that applying a hand sanitizer that contains at least sixty percent alcohol will surely kill the coronavirus.
The second common myth circulating online is that COVID-19 is a man-made virus. The truth is that the “virus that causes COVID-19 is a zoonotic virus. This means that it originated from an animal.”
Scientists believe that it probably jumped the species barrier and ended up in humans. But it was definitely not made in a laboratory, contrary to some beliefs.

My Friend Really Uses Her Hand As A Mask
A Local School Posted Photos On Their Social Media About How They Are Following Covid Guidelines. They Photoshopped A Mask On The Teacher's Face
bruh its easier to wear a freaking mask rather than spend effort to photoshop it on
Third, the claim that applying heat to your skin or taking a hot bath will kill the virus is false. “Hot baths and hot drinks won’t be able to reach or kill the virus because it lies within cells inside your body,” Claudia explained.
While the most effective way to curb the virus if it has come in contact with your skin is washing with soap or using hand sanitizer, once it is inside your body, there’s not much you can do about it. “It is up to your immune system to kill the virus off.”

Covidiots. They'll spread their disinformation and the virus, but never get a single clue or care a single bit.
I didn't know they are as stupid in the UK as they are in America. I guess idiots are everywhere!
once upon a time stupid people would stand on a soap box and rant at the sky as bemused passers by would laugh at them. Nowadays they have the internet and enough fellow idiots believe their BS. The earth is flat,the moon landings where fake, A mask wont stop a virus , 5 g gives you cancer, trump isn't an evil tyrannical sex pest racist. people will believe anything. The madness is even more contagious than covid. Protect against idiocy. Inform, inspire ,educate.
Is everyone you embrace gonna visit you in the ICU, oh wait, they'll be there with you
Sign #1 you won't feel better b/c you won't feel anything...you will be dead.
You'll feel better... When you or your friend gets coronavirus? It's not fear, it's like wearing mitts to take something out of the oven. Some things of course should actually be feared, the difference is being irrational about it or handling it logically. Wearing a mask is logical. Fear of a pandemic is also logical. You can do something silly like shoot everyone that comes near your property or you can just wear a mask.
The more xenophobic some British nationalists get the more they start to resemble certain American nationalists.
I've not seen these personally- I live in Yorkshire- but if I did see someone put these up, I'd feel compelled to have a word, loudly from more than two meters away, and wearing my mask. If they did try to hug me, THEY would NOT feel the better for it!
Yeah, we'll feel better... If you think coughing, having shortness of breath, having the flu, etc. is feeling better than wearing a goodness quacking mask.

The fact that it looks like it's made out of those rubber bands that you make bracelets with, and she would rather leave the imprint of them on her face instead of wearing a mask is just unsettling.

Honestly, at this stage of the pandemic with so many deaths, I can't even get angry at these people anymore. It just makes me sad. Sad that their education failed them. Sad that, at some stage, they lost lost the ability to critically assess information on credibility. Sad that much of said misinformation came directly from the top of their government. Angry at said government.

Excuse me, could you stop the planet? I'd like to get off, please.
I'm on the train for four and a half hours every single day with my mask on (big commute). Yeah it's hot and annoying and it sucks that I can't have a drink, but if there's even the slightest possibility to prevent even one person from getting this disease because of it, I'm happy to do it. Hell, I'd wear that thing to bed and in the shower if it'd help!
the other day i spotted a lady only taking off her mask to speak. which spreads more germs.
I’m wondering what spreads faster, the virus or the downright dumbass rampant stupidity people are showing? What’s it going to take before people believe it? Catching it themselves and needing a machine to help them breathe? Ye gods..
Idiots. All of them are idiots. If those stupid people can’t wear a mask in public, IT’LL BE YEARS before we get out again. Wear a mask. Please!

To avoid fear, they avoid truth. The tragedy is that otherse will die because of them.
I know this really nice lady, she's into crystals and aurora stuff. I liked her even though I found her peculiar. She came into the library a couple of weeks ago and announced that she has a medical issue and can't wear a mask, so can she come in. I stuttered, cause I know very well she doesn't have one, but our policy/rules is that we ask each person to wear one, but we can't enforce it or withhold service. It's disheartening that a lady I quite liked is so stuck up and selfish. She can only think about her own comfort and doesn't care one iota about my health or literally anyone else around her. I had thought she was better than that. In retrospect, I should have called her out on it. But I am an introvert, so confrontation isn't exactly my strong suit.
The best thing we can all hope for is that these idiots get sick and die. Farmers call that "Culling the herd". Just let Nature take her course.
Except for the vulnerable people who are at extreme risk, are they an acceptable casualty? I'm 33 with later stage copd/emphysema and yeah these fools are idiots, but when ppl talk of herd immunity it's distressing. When you know your survival odds are very low if you get infected and practically zero if it mutates this madness is just that bit more intimidating, herd immunity is a death sentence for me

I was wolking in a store. There was an employee and a poster next to him. The poster: "we sell masks" The employee: NO mask!
I will never understand these ppl My mom Sasly has Covid and i feel so sorry for all those innocent ppl diedng
the real idiots are the ones who think covid 19 is the end .with a 98% survival rate the death rate is a drop in the bucket. I had it twice it sucks but come on you cant live your life in fear
I have now lost hope in humanity. I shall go hide under a blanket and play games on my phone for a few hours. Bye bye
The USA has the philosophy of "Freedom or death" Let them be the masters of their own fates. 8 Million infections and over 200K deaths prove this. USA will literally rather die, than have some of their freedoms taken away, to prevent further infections. There is no sympathy for a country that thinks in this way... Fine it's a loss-of-life, but it is their right to choose it. Bigotry, Race wars, Anti-science, flat-earth, Anti-vaxx...It's all USA problems, not ours. America is imploding socially. "Freedom or death", eh?
Watching this selfish and entitled behavior is so frustrating. I have given up trying to change the minds of the stupid and now focus on keeping myself safe.
I can't... I just can't. I hate stupid people, but these ones... They bring the world's intelligence down by living here.
My friend needed a ride to the grocery store. I said yes if she would wear a mask around me because I have COPD. (She is a anti-masker) . She said she would. But the car she made fun of me for wearing a mask in the car and for asking her to wear a mask. After we went shopping and walking all around the grocery store, she got in the car and took off her mask. I now refuse to take her anywhere in my car again. She doesn't understand why.
Covidiots are everywhere, unfortunately. I live in Czechia, we were doing good during first few months, but now were screwed. All thanks to idiots who recklessly endanger others. Like my coworker, who was fired, because she refused to wear a mask.
How about we make a special mask for all the COVID-19 baby killers out there. I covers the whole head, has a pull cord tie for around the neck and is a bag made of thick transparent plastic
OMG-each fucktard has to be a WMD as well, like the virus itself and antivaxxers aren't more than enough!
With idiots like this wandering around, I am starting to wonder if my dad will ever be able to leave his house ever again. He has been on lockdown since this whole thing started and it doesn't seem like it will end anytime soon because there are too many selfish idiots in the world.
