The irrational fear of contracting COVID-19. Made out of fear to wear a mask, P.P. E. ALWAYS; even when not necessary. Symptoms include; wincing & shying away from people who cough; driving or walking outdoors with masks on; or just general paranoia over social contact; (generally, a hightened
germaphobia).
