Covid-22

Catch-22 during the coronavirus pandemic: if you stay at home, you have no money to feed your family and pay the bills; and if you go out and work, you risk your life and those of your loved ones, especially if some members are prone to contracting the virus due to a poor health condition.

Adios and his wife, both out of work, are in debt and face eviction at the end of the month, with the family of five trying to keep their baby who suffers from a rare disease condition that requires round-the-clock care at home instead of moving to a homeless shelter; however, if they go out to work, the odds of them infecting their little one are pretty high—they’re stuck in a Covid-22 situation.

Carnivak-Cov

Sputnik V for animals, which unprovenly generates antibodies in dogs, cats, foxes, and mink, by protecting them from Covid-19 for at least half a year, and prevents viral mutations from developing.

Just as Sputnik V was the world’s first registered half-baked Covid-19 vaccine for humans, Carnivak-Cov is the world’s first registered half-trialed Covid-19 vaccine for animals—a double first for Russia, as it pursues its vaccine diplomacy in the developing world.

Spotifying Trump’s Lies

When some Trumpreneurs are entertaining the idea of making the Pinocchio-in-Chief’s manifold lies available on Spotify in different music or podcast formats so that they sound pleasing or soothing to the ears of millions of ultra-MAGA cult members.

Guesstimate how much royalty creators could be raking in every month by Spotifying Trump’s lies in different languages.

Mathematical Grawlix

A string of typographical and mathematical symbols, such as $#√(-1)+ and ∫eˣ = f(uⁿ), used in place of an obscenity, especially among geeks on social media.

Which mathematical grawlix would you dare sending to your boss after you’ve submitted your resignation letter?

Covid-🇲🇺

When the island paradise turned tax haven, which used to earn its main revenue by exporting quality raw sugar, wished the coronavirus would suffer the same fate as the dodo—Mauritius needs tourists and tax fugitives to come back to revive its comatose economy.

How long would Mauritius—a lackey of China, which could easily or freely provide her with a million-odd doses of coronavirus vaccine to match her population size—have to wait before Covid-🇲🇺 became a reality?

COVID-13

A surge in infections and deaths on a Friday the thirteenth, compared to the figures on other dates, which led the authorities to wonder whether the most fearful or unluckiest date in the calendar in the developed world was a catalyst to the higher infection and mortality rates.

Whether COVID-13 victims suffered a double whammy or not is a topic of discussion suited for numerologists and astrologers rather than for scientists and politicians.

Wealth Inequality

When a CEO earns more than 300 times in a day what many of their workers earn in a year, or when the top 0.1% owns as much as the bottom 90% of the population.

The immoral wealth inequality is proof of pure hypocrisy by billionaires and CEOs, who never fail to point out that they’ll give away most of the wealth after their last heartbeat.
