Covid-🇲🇺

When the island paradise of Mauritius wished the coronavirus would go the way of the dodo, so that it could welcome back the tourists (and new tax fugitives) to revive its half-dead economy.

How long would the Dodo Island, which hopes that generous China would 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-🍦

When some mainland Chinese provinces are simplistically tempting vaccine skeptics or anti-vaxxers with buy-one-get-one-free ice cream cones if they get jabbed, as part of their carrot-and-stick strategy.

Is COVID-🍦just a quasi-ineffective primitive marketing gimmick to address vaccine hesitancy among some gullible residents?

Covid-Creative

When your impact on the unprepared or reckless or irresponsible is as infectious or deadly as the coronavirus, because you strike your target when they least expect it.

Be it in business, politics, or life in general, being covid-creative would see you through the good and bad times.

Free Rider

A political label for an “ungrateful” citizen who selfishly voted for the opposition to ensure that there are some checks and balances for the ruling party, because they know that the previous government would win again, as the majority of voters trusted them for their decades-long competency and efficiency.

Singapore’s Prime Minister cheekily remarked that those who didn’t vote for his party are “free riders,” who just want to enjoy the best of both worlds: enjoying the financial goodies given out by the government while expecting the opposition to expose any unlucky MPs or ministers who are caught in some unethical or immoral activities like corruption, nepotism, and adultery.

Corona Spray

The new antiviral perfume that could used as a substitute for vaccines, which offers temporary Covid protection that may last for up to nineteen hours, especially for those who don’t want to be jabbed or boosted after being infected repeatedly despite earlier vaccine shots.

In the new normal, instead of spritzing her face with cologne, Karen uses a corona spray before leaving for work.

MaskPlus

Singapore’s two-layer cotton fabric reusable mask that claimed to offer 97+% antiviral and 99.75+% antibacterial protection after 30 washes—its last free distribution to the public, which lasted a fortnight, occured on Pi Day, 2021.

Compared to previous “inferior quality” reusable masks that were also given free to the public, MaskPlus needed to be washed only once a week even if worn daily—users could wear it every day for up to seven months.

Covid-91°

When the authorities could not confirm how many people who died of forest fires, when the temperature then was about 91 degrees centigrade, were already infected with the coronavirus (and were probably on the way to the other side of eternity).

In California, the public was clueless how many of the two-dozen-odd deaths were Covid-91° victims.
