One word that refers to the Coronavirus pandemic. It effectively shortens the phrase as well as captures how people feel about it, "I am so sick of this ---- pandemic!" Instead of constantly having to refer to it as the Coronavirus or Covid-19 pandemic, simply switch a few of the letters in the word pandemic around. This will enable people to refer to it more quickly and efficiently. Replacing the words Coronavirus pandemic or COVID-19 pandemic with "dampenic" will save people time, free up their energy reserves and provide them with the necessary strength to put on their masks and help put an end to this ---- pandemic.
dampenic - I am so tired of people not wearing their masks and spreading this dampendic!
