Coveard (COVID-19/coronavirus + beard)

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic caused many people to quarantine, and many men grew beards, called “coveard” (COVID-19/coronavirus + beard).
     
“I’ve started growing my #coveard - my social distancing beard. A scary looking, scraggly beard will help people keep their distance right?” was posted on Twitter by Matt MacDonald on Marc 16, 2020. “On Day 6 of my COVID beard, a/k/a my #coveard” was posted on Twitter by John B. O’Keefe on March 17, 2020. “Spread the #COVeard word” was posted on Twitter by Jonathan not Johnathan on March 19, 2020.
       
“Isobeard” (isolation + beard) is a similar term.

Current top contender for “best portmanteau describing this awful facial hair I am letting go wild while in quarantine” is #Coveard.  Can we do better?
