When coronavirus turned into one of the greatest public health crises back in 2020, things like we knew them before changed beyond recognition. Not only did toilet paper become a hot commodity, but basically, a new kind of dictionary was born to reflect the current times. Hence, the term ‘covidiot’ emerged to refer to someone who, as Urban Dictionary puts it, “ignores the warnings regarding public health or safety. A person who hoards goods, denying them from their neighbors.”
The term has been in use a lot lately, and this is partly due to the fact that, no matter how much worse the pandemic may get, some members of society still act as if not a single thing has changed. The worst of it is that engaging in such behaviors like throwing decadent parties, refusing to wear face coverings, and calling Covid-19 a hoax not dissimilar to 5G puts everyone at risk.
So this time, we take a look at some of the most irresponsible Covid examples that should work as a handbook of what not to do during times of coronavirus crisis. After you're done, check out our previous post with more shameful Covid deniers who refuse to follow the rules and common sense.

Ah Yes, Evolution
Bill Murray Said It Best
To find out more about the surge in Covid denialism during the worldwide pandemic, Bored Panda reached out to Dibs Baer, a New York Times bestselling author of "Lady Tigers in the Concrete Jungle." Dibs said that the reason why there’s still so much Covid denialism has to do with “too many mixed messages in different parts of our country and the fact that “a lot of people don’t believe in basic facts or science.”
The LA-based celebrity journalist and book author thinks that people are in denial because they can’t deal with the loss that’s happening. “The number is so high it almost doesn’t seem real. Overall, it’s mind-boggling. I’ve had two friends lose their fathers recently to COVID. It’s real and it’s devastating.”
When it comes to responding to Covid deniers, Dibs believes that being armed with information is a good way to go. “Like, I live near LA, where someone dies every 8 minutes from COVID right now. I might say something like, 'Hey, did you know that 1 in 50 people have COVID in our neighborhood? I wonder if you’re that one person? Probably, since I’ve been around 50 people today and you’re the only one who didn’t have a mask on!'” He added that he enjoys being passive-aggressive, which is not exactly the same as plain old aggressive.
Why Do People Think Not Wearing Mask Is Cool?
Safety Precaution Is Not 100%
Ok Den
Dibs also believes in calling people out in a safe way, if possible.“I had to go to the doctor this morning and I couldn’t believe it, but there was a guy sitting in the waiting room without a mask! And the nurse asked him to put one on and he stomped his feet like a big baby. I was about to get up and go help her when he finally put one on reluctantly.” Dibs believes the guy thought it wasn’t manly to put it on.
When it comes to humiliating ‘Covidiots’ by calling them out, video taping can also work, according to Dibs, but it can turn scary if you pick the wrong person on the wrong day. “I find it easier to yell at strangers than neighbors and people I know.” Having said that, Dibs concluded that the best weapon against Covid deniers is information.

I am so incredibly triggered. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F**K IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE HOW EVIL CAN YOU F****N BE? WE NEED TO STOP THE SPREAD AND NOT DEAL WITH IDIOTS LIKE THIS. Both my parents got COVID around the same time and let me tell you it was incredibly stressful and scary.
We call that "aggravated assault", "bioterrorism", y'know, and oh, yeah, attempted murder.
What sick bastard thinks that this is funny? "Oh yeah I went and infected 100+ people Today at the store for no reason other than my own enjoyment and lack of common sense." Why the f**k do people continue to be this ignorant?
We prosecute anyone who gets out of the house after being diagnosed with COVID, for "undermining disease control". Also, after being diagnosed, the police check if you are home at various hours everyday, they call and you have to wave at them from the window while on the phone with them, for the whole time while you are supposed to stay isolated. This MF would get jail time for this.
Yeah, they do similar here in Australia, and same thing, she would definitely be prosecuted

I saw a man in the grocery yesterday without a mask. A grocery with large signs posted on doors stating 'you must wear a mask' and a guard with free masks inside the doors. This man pushed the cart around like he retained good sense. Consensus: he doesn't. People like him are on the self-elimination list. Soon only the "dumb" people who wear masks will be alive.
I wish this were true... and I wish wearing a mask was actually enforced. I see people all the time at stores without them. We used to respect science here. At least, I think we did where it mattered.

And that person is probably the type to whine about restrictions etc. Usually the ones howling the loudest are. What they don't seem to realize is that if they DON'T follow guidelines to prevent spreading the bloody disease, they'll have to deal with restrictions even longer...
I'm hoping that this is a troll trying to get a rise from folk. The alternative would make me lose hope for humanity having such a s**t stain in its midst.
Why isn’t this asshole reported for attempted MURDER? Knowingly wiping the virus etc... thus c*** needs to be found, outed to everyone, fired, shunned and thrown in a 2x4 jail cell.
Hunt that MF down and put him/her in prison for the rest of their miserable infected life!
I don't know if this is real or a "joke", but either way it is NOT funny or okay. Grow the F up or you may find yourself on a ventilator or worse, in a casket.
If anyone dies that is murder in the 1st... might as well have video taped themselves doing it dumb f**k
This is sick... why their heck would you try to spread it, it’s killing millions of people and your not helping. That’s like murdering somebody slowly and not going to prison for it.
This is felony assault, whoever knows him needs to call the authorities and give his address.
The name would be easy to track I bet.. pass it to some authority if he did all that or just bragged he did. He needs his appropriate 'reward'' ASAP
But did he actually do what he described himself doing? I thought he was just trying to wind people up to get a reaction. Still stupid I know, but not the same.
The account should not be censored... people should know who this monster is...
Omg please go die in a fire. Or jump of a cliff. Or, of course, COVID. Just painfully leave this earth.
You can go to jail for intentionally spreading HIV... Covid-19 should be added to the list.
I'm pretty sure this is why I lived away from the U.S.A for my whole life
murderer dickhead... shame on you asshole!! even if it's untrue!!! MORON.
Do you remember the occasional case of someone with AIDS having unprotected sex on purpose? There were actual criminal charges against some of those people.
The original poster's name should not have been covered up. Someone this stupid and irresponsible doesn't deserve to be kept anonymous.
I sure hope they are held accountable, that's so awful. You do not have the right to risk MY health.
How are people this horrible?! This man is endangering the lives of others and then made a joke about it, how dare he.
I hope this idiot gets traced and charged with endangering life. This deserves a prison sentence.
Why are we blocking their names?! They should be bombarded with internet trolls and angry widows/widowers. We need to know the enemy even if they're a f*****g moron!!!
So basically, this poor excuse of a human being is an aspiring serial killer.
how in the world do you wipe your tissues on someone's food on accident
I just... don't know what to say. To think people can even be like this is painful.
Karma is not about what happens in this life, but the next.. sadly for some that might happen sooner than expected.

Where I am we have no community cases but people will still wear masks and gloves by choice and practice social distancing when going out. Have to wear on public transport though. Don't hear many people complain because we aren't dying. Edit: I'm in NZ. All our active cases are in border quarantine

People need to get that this is not about them, it is not about any single incident ... of course, if I go to the store without a mask, each one time in itself will have a low likelihood of me catching the virus. But I have to go to the grocery store about once a week, so this adds up. There are about 500000 people living in a radius of 20 miles around me, and in every household, one does about the same every week ... the low likelihood certainly will lead to some infections, it just isn't every other week for everyone, only for some. Damned, everybody knows how to avoid contact, everybody could know it works, and the masks are just a little uncomfortable, something everybody can endure... Not that hard. Not that much that is aksed. A little compassion and reason - so little I always have thought everyone has it - is all it takes. Antimaskers are assholes.
Me too. they should all catch it and die. The problem is all the inocents that they will infect.

Even though I did not have a fever, my doctor told me I could have had COVID-19 because it is estimated up to 40% of people who have had it did not have symptoms, and that most of us have probably been exposed at some time. BUT wearing the mask is like wearing a condom-it protects both people.
This makes my blood boil. Due to being medically extremely vulnerable I haven't left the house other than for hospital appointments, treatments and scans since March. I have not been in the same room as my partner for 10 months as he works in hospitals with covid patients. I've had to go through my treatments alone, I've not seen my family and my mental health is suffering.... but despite of all that, I am following the restrictions to the letter. I'd give anything for a hug but that's not possible right now. There are so many selfish, arrogant people out there. They think they are smart yet they are so very stupid. Anyone who refuses the vaccine claiming
Claiming its dangerous should hope they never get cancers... for chemo is actually there to damage cells. I bet they would have no problem with that bit of medical science though!

As a Christian, the nonsense other Christians come up with to deny that the virus is a thing, or being all "brave" because God will protect them (um, maybe He has provided Really Smart People called Scientists who have figured out and given us the means to protect humankind through wearing a mask and social distancing?) just makes me sick, and I think it makes Him weep.
There is a joke. I might have read it on here. There is a flood and guy is trapped on his roof. Boat comes by to help "God will save me" guy says. Another boat comes "God will save me" guy says. He drowns. He gets to heaven and asks god why he didn't save him. "I sent you two boats". god says. Or something like that. It means god helps those who help themselves. Which means wear a mask. (I'm a former Christian).

If I am honest, i just want all these people to curl up and die and thus clean up the human gene pool. Fun fact: in my country are two state with a very high percentage of voters of an alt-right party. 35% percent as opposed to the usual 10%. And, of course, this party is also antiscience and thinks Covid is hoax etc etc and noone follows the rules. Guess where the hospitals are full and people are dying like flies?
They are arguing with everyone in the hospital that covid is fake, right up until they die.

Before being vaccinated, people should show their twitter, fb and instagram history to prove they deserve it.
god, this is so easy and so many people are too selfish to even comprehend. here's the deal, idiots: if EVERYONE wore a mask everywhere they were around other people, apart from their own homes, for an entire month, we would be out of this already. if you wear a mask, you cannot spread OR get cooties. if other people are wearing masks, they cannot spread OR get cooties. in your home, if everyone has been wearing a mask the whole time they're out, it's fine to not wear one, because no one should have any cooties (because they've been wearing a mask). everyone needs to get over themselves and just wear. the. goddamn. mask. not going out unless absolutely necessary further reduces the chance that you will get or spread germs while out. don't believe in covid? wear the mask anyway, for giggles. it doesn't hurt you. if my mom gets covid, she WILL die.
COMMUNISTS DON'T WANT YOU TO WEAR MASKS! They want America to get sick and die off!!! They know we're headstrong about our freedoms, and that we wouldn't do the best thing to prevent catching the virus (wearing a mask!). And what a coincidence that it's a virus that comes from a COMMUNIST-RUN country! STOP the RED MENACE and wear a mask! God Bless the USA!
I hate to think of all the people who are out of work and all the businesses that have closed. I think prolonged shutdowns will have a much more detrimental effect on society and individuals. Considering there is evidence that only those with other health issues before they got the virus are at risk from dying, shouldn't we be evaluating and identifying risk groups vs. those who are least likely to be killed? We could be letting least-risk people go back to work and school with masks, social modifications, and cleaning regimes instead of putting so many people into financial ruin, thinking that unemployment or the dole will keep them from becoming homeless and hungry.
