Hi, P-assengers! How are y’all doing? We hope you’re happy and healthy as always. Nowadays, we often see comments which say that Covid is a hoax or even a joke. This is something usual. When people are already tired of this situation, they often make hilarious theories. Despite this, PIDAS81 won’t stop reminding you to always wear double masks to give you extra protection, wash your hands frequently, stay away from crowded places, keep your distance as far as two meters, and don’t hesitate to get vaccinated.
By the way, do you guys know what we will talk about now? As the title said, we are going to qualify people who are said as a covidiot. Have you heard this before? If you haven’t, stay here to know the meaning of this new and interesting word, P-assengers!
Covidiot is made up of two words, Covid and idiot. According to Cambridge Dictionary, a covidiot is someone who behaves in a stupid way that risks spreading the infectious disease Covid. Basically, a covidiot won’t take this pandemic seriously. They just consider this as flu. They would get mad if they were told to follow the health protocol. There are many reasons causing this phenomenon: politics, economy, social culture, etc.
In Indonesia, mostly have pissed up from many inconsistent rules that often affect many life aspects. Communities around the nation are also confused about the weird treatment that the police give between those who work in the government and those who don’t. We often see that many ordinary citizens get fined because they break health protocol rules, although those who have higher stakes won’t get it.
The next reason would be that most Indonesian people are easily influenced by false information. These information came from an intended person, that we said as covidiot, to influence another. Unfortunately, Indonesians don’t have excellence in literacy. They won’t check and recheck the information. To make things worse, they will share it.
People around the globe have already grown tired of this pandemic which would be the final and biggest reason. The suitable word for this is pandemic fatigue. This is an expected and natural reaction, so you won’t be worried if you feel this. This is happening because people have already tired of a bunch of rules that have been created and evolving throughout this pandemic. People are also sick of many news that were clickbait. This is our role to read the news wisely. Make sure that you won’t get depressed!
So. that’s all about covidiot. We hope that everyone could obey the health protocol that has been made and officially recognized by officials. See you again and bye-bye, P-assengers!
