Covidiots: 'Anti-Lockdown' Protesters In US Come Out With Guns To Demand Reopening Of Country

What a year 2020 has been. On top of all that has happened, 'Covidiots' has become a word everyone's generously using. And that's probably there are plenty of people making the word seem worth its invention.

In case you live under a rock, a 'Covidiot' is anyone who's being an idiot during the outbreak. Covidiots can be usually spotted breaking social distancing rules and instead heading out to parties, to beaches or just anywhere else where they not only put their lives at risk but those of other people.

Covidiots are also generously spread around the world. Like India, America too has its share of them. Here's a story to throw that into perspective.

According to recent reports, 'anti-lockdown protesters' headed to the streets of New York and Virginia to vent their anger over the lockdown. These protesters demanded that the governors reopen respective areas. In the middle of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. When the number of coronavirus related deaths in New York alone are over a reported 11,000.

According to local reports, protesters are demanding that authorities ¡°#ReOpenAmerica,¡± and they've stepped onto the streets and are holding rallies in places like Ohio, North Carolina, Michigan, and Kentucky.

What is outrageous is that some of these protesters are fully armed. A report claims that one of these protests saw about a 100 people block traffic and even prevent an ambulance from getting through.

Apart from guns these protests have also included the iconic Guy Fawkes masks and chants of 'facts over fear!'

Here's hoping better sense prevails.
