Covidiocy Update

EDITOR'S NOTE: Today we're starting a new feature called "Covidiocy Update." We define "covidiocy" as extremely idiotic behavior in the deadliest pandemic in a century. 

"Covidiot" is the root word for "covidiocy." "Basically, a covidiot doesn’t take COVID-19 and the risks of the virus seriously, despite what government officials and the global health community say," explains the Explore Health website. "At the same time, they may also engage in selfish behavior that doesn’t look out for the greater good when it comes to slowing down and stopping the spread of the coronavirus."

Often "covidiocy" is willful idiocy. Anyway, you might think we're making this stuff up. We aren't. So here we go with the inaugural "Covidiocy Update:"
