Definition from vesti.bg:
Ето какво гласи описанието на „ковидиот” в Urban Dictionary: „човек, който игнорира препоръките относно общественото здраве и безопасност, и такъв, който се презапасява със стоки, криейки ги ревностно от съседите”.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ковидиот се наричат хората, които панически се втурнаха да се презапасяват с храна и най-вече с тоалетна хартия. Като пример е дадено изречението “Виждали ли сте този ковидиот с 300 ролки тоалетна хартия в количка?”. Новият термин е комбинация между името на вируса COVID-19 и думата “идиот”. - 24 часа  
  • Терминът има още едно значение - на хора, игнориращи мерките за предпазване в периода на пандемията: „Този ковидиот прегръща всеки, когото види". - desant.net  
  • Хората, които купуват на поразия тоалетна хартия, за да се презапасяват по време на пандемията, вече си имат име - COVidiot. /Коронавирус идиот - бел.ред./ - БНР
