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.

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.

Come to think of it, this would have been the only winning strategy, if announced from the beginning we would all be well out of this pandemic

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

This Genius Recorded My Local Hospital To Prove It’s Empty And A Conspiracy... I Asked My Mum Where He Filmed
Well wouldn't you know, hospitals are forking large buildings with empty hallways even when it's busy. Gosh I just want to give them a tour of everything in a University hospital housing 10,000 employees housing a huge covid ward, but also research buildings, offices, radiology, all the other wards... Also, every been to a kid's ward in the beginning of the year? During RSV season? They are jam packed and still, in the hallways, it's quiet. Because kids are sick, visiting is restricted and nurses wear shoes that make running around easy...

This is a very extreme case, I dont know when it was taken. Spain has very strict regulations, limiting access to stores, its obligatory to wear a mask and there are restrictions for eating out, being out at night, being in big groups etc. I dont like my country for many reasons but this time they did a good job compared to other countries.

Russian Christmas Fair. Covid? Nah, Never Heard Of It
Yeah, it's allowed to be on the streets without masks and visit marketplaces. Although there are no usual holidays activities, not even in small cities, but closed restaurants, schools, fines for open faces in stores, transport etc, and Russian patriarch told everyone to keep masks on and closed some churches. You will not see crap like "no masks here" on stores. Some antimasks activity exists though, and stupid ppl too. But restrictions are pretty high for whole country, no matter where you are.

Actually some teams were back playing full contact rugby before the Christmas National Lockdown in the UK, and you can't wear a mask for 80 minutes, sprinting around, tackling, calling, etc... They can play 3 or 4 games and then have to isolate for 10-14 days. I am not surprised at the fact no one is wearing a mask to participate in a sport, whereby they will be running around and exerting themselves.

If all the western countries learned a thing of two from Asian(Japan and South Korea), we would have prevent millions of cases.
New Zealand and Australia did nail it, but in New Zealand’s case, at least, we did see that the Asian countries were the ones to look to. We knew we couldn’t rely on the US and UK. :(

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.
