Covidphobia

Covidphobia is a form of irrational fear of being contaminated with the virus, leading to various aberrant behaviors : xenophobia (discrimination against people thought to have brought the virus); inconsiderate stockpiling; exaggerated use of detergents and sanitizers, which may lead to other harmful effects.

Rational wife: John! John! Put those back. We only need four jars for the next 3 weeks —not 20!!
Inconsiderate John: Honey, better be safe....
Teressa (the wife): don’t be such a covidphobe. We’re only taking what we need for the next 3weeks. Other people need food too. Hello?

P.s teressa is also a mother (mother Teressa?)
