Psalms 90

A timeless set of biblical verses on how God wants His creation to view the concept of time, which reminds mankind how life is fragile and transient—how His people need to value their limited time on earth while they go through life’s tribulations and experience His recurring deliverance and blessing until their last breath.

In Psalms 90, we’re told that (a) in God’s sight, a thousand years are like a day that has just gone by; (b) the length of our days is 70 years—or 80 years, if we’re strong enough; and (c) we need to ask God to teach us to number our days carefully so that we’ll be wise in how we live.

🦠₁₉ 💉 ≠ 0😷 or 0💀

When a Covid-19 vaccine does not equate zero infections or deaths, especially when those in developed nations would get vaccinated first before their counterparts in the developing world could expect to be jabbed even with a half-baked vaccine from China or Russia.

The WHO warned the world that 🦠₁₉ 💉 ≠ 0😷 or 0💀, when not everyone would be able to get jabbed in early 2021.

Make China Great Again!

Also known as “China’s Great Revival.” A slogan by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to restore China to its past glory as one of the greatest civilizations in the world following its defeat and humiliation in colonial and war times, and Mao’s decades-long totalitarian rule that impeded the motherland’s progress economically and scientifically.

Few critics could deny that leveraging on the policies put in place by his previous three predecessors, Comrade Xi has transformed China into a wealthy major power with a modern military and advanced tech sector, while cracking down on political opponents and getting tough on big shady businesses and filthy rich individuals. No doubt, the new emperor is boldly preaching about “Make China Great Again!”

Covid-19 Prefers Men to Women

When men, at every age, who are infected with the coronavirus are far more likely to die than women, based on the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of men and women, which is the number of infected cases divided by the number of deaths.

One theory why Covid-19 prefers men to women is the fact that women with two X chromosomes have a more powerful immune system than men, who only have one, and a number of immune genes are only found on the X chromosome.

Covid-🦜

When rare or thought extinct parrots and other birds were spotted during the coronavirus pandemic, when most countries were on lockdown, with air pollution and noise pollution then being at their lowest levels in decades.

If 🐬s were spotted in India’s dirty Ganges River during the lockdown, we’d not be too surprised to witness some Covid-🦜 sightings.

Covid-🇧🇷

When Brazil is ranked the world’s worst country in handling the coronavirus pandemic—whose death toll is second to the US—which is led by a Trump-like or nationalist character, who has made light of the Covid-19 threat, mocked mask-wearing, opposed lockdowns, and contracted the virus himself.

What are the odds that Brazil, which relies on China’s half-baked vaccines, might end up registering more corona infections and deaths than the US in containing Covid-🇧🇷 in coming weeks or months due to its rogue leader’s weak leadership or ineptitude?

COVID-995

When healthy or asymptomatic members of the public, who suspect that they might have contracted Covid-19 but with no life-threatening or emergency conditions, are conveniently dialing 995, thus depriving those who genuinely need the service urgently from doing so.

How many lives could have been saved globally had there been fewer or no COVID-995 calls?
