Example sentence(s):
  • Bal koronaidiotów Niedługo po tym, jak pozamykano wszystko co się zamknąć da i wystosowano apele o unikanie wszelkich zgromadzeń, pisowski cymbał zorganizował swoje koronaimieniny, na które zaprosił 250 koronaidiotów. - gazeta  
  • Oby koronaświr i spec ustawa nie zabrała NAM i tej kwoty - sadowe  

Explanation:
świr/idiota/bałwan koronny - brzmi zabawnie, ale może być użyty też w innym kontekście niż ten, o którym tutaj mowa

covid, po spolszczeniu nie brzmi i nie zapisuje się zbyt ładnie, np. kowid, kovid [?] Jedyny wyraz który, przychodzi mi do głowy to, kowidoświr lub kowidoszaleniec

Myślę, że "korona" lepiej się sprawdza, np. koronaszaleniec, koronabałwan
