damndemic 

A damndemic is a public health situation where thousands and thousands of good folks become quite ill, or worse, due to exposure to an invisible virus or bacteria. The spread of the illness is hastened by a small but vocal percentage of the public not following precautionary guidelines, and not giving a damn about the health and well being of others.
