Where an individual or small group of karens will keep their distance from all human life by at least 5 miles, people who have coronaphobia are 88% more likely to go into the super markets and hoard all the supplies such as toilet paper, hand sanitizer, gloves and masks. They'll also yell "6 FEET" if you're too close to one.
"I know we all have to keep our distance but wow that karen has coronaphobia"
"yeah she's probably going to go steal some toilet paper while she's out"
The constant fear of catching COVID-19 (coronavirus). Symptoms include: panic buying toiletries and hand sanitizer, wearing a paper mask that does nothing but make you look stupid, staying away from people and screaming if someone coughs! This can also be known as severe Coronatitus.
