Covid-270

When voters used the 2020 presidential election to fire the Liar-in-Chief from the White House for lying about the coronavirus pandemic and for mishandling the crisis, which enables his political opponent to secure the 270 seats needed to become the next president of the United States.

Few Democrats would publicly admit that Covid-19 was a blessing in disguise in empowering the Pinocchio-in-Chief’s political foe to infect him with Covid-270.

Corometery

A small area in the cemetery that has been allocated for those who had died of Covid-19, so that future generations would remember the price their ancestors paid in fighting the pandemic.

Only the wealthy have so far been able to bury their loved ones in a corometery, because the burial space commands a premium price, which is beyond what the common people could afford—who says that death doesn’t differentiate between the rich and the poor?

Covid-🇸🇴

When Mohammedan pirates from Somalia are not only surviving but also thriving during the coronavirus pandemic, as they justify their sea raids on the increasing number of cargo ships passing by their coastal waters because of poverty.

Unlike the Ethiopian and Kenyan seamen whose livelihoods took a nosedive during the lockdown, Somali sea thieves were doing brisk business thanks to Covid-🇸🇴.

WFH Math

Short for “Working from Home Math.” When home-based teaching and learning of math is felt to be semi-ineffective or unproductive for most teachers and students, who are still banned from schools as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Some Puritan or Trumpublican parents wanted Mr. Putins to be fired after he mistyped “WTF Math” instead of “WFH Math” on the WhatsApp Teachers-Parents group.

Covid Rule

When a thin majority or weak government declares a nationwide state of emergency as an excuse to curb the spread of the coronavirus to hang on to power, or to prevent the administration from collapsing.

Malaysian PM resorts to Covid rule to suspend the parliament, thus preventing any elections to be held during the emergency, which could last until 2022, when the situation returned to normal.

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-🇲🇻

When tourists to Muslim-majority Maldives, where the quality of its health infrastructure is questionable, needn’t serve any quarantine on arrival, but have to bear any medical costs should they be infected with the coronavirus—a catch-22 situation where they are most likely to be buried on one of the islands should they fail to recover even with access to a China-made ventilator.

With India donating their homegrown half-baked vaccine to Maldives as part of their vaccine diplomacy to sideline China, and with the local population getting inoculated, the odds of half-hearted budget tourists facing a Covid-🇲🇻 situation are lower.
