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.

Covid-🇦🇺

When Australia finally comes to terms that its zero Covid strategy to contain the coronavirus pandemic is a mere illusion, which is politically laughable considering that the country has the lowest vaccination rate among the developed countries.

Thanks to “dose sharing” with friendly developed countries, no one expects the land of kangaroos to fail in bringing down the number of Covid-🇦🇺 infections, thus putting an end to recurring lockdowns before the festive season.

🇨🇳: (🦇 🦠 🧪 🧫 🔬) ➡️ 🌍: (😷x + 💀y)

A (very) short history of Covid-19 in 19 characters.

Eric plagiarized “🇨🇳: (🦇 🦠 🧪 🧫 🔬) ➡️ 🌍: (😷x + 💀y)” from Urban Dictionary and SMSed it to his father, who had nicknamed the coronavirus “China virus,” “Chinese virus,” and “Kung flu” in racially charged tweets.

Covid-🇮🇳

When India continues to break new world records in its daily rise in corona cases and deaths, with its hospitals running out of beds and medical oxygen, thanks to its inept and corrupt right-wing government, which allowed religious festivals and political rallies to be held, which became superspreader events, in the midst of the apocalyptic health situation plaguing the nation.

Just when the world thought that no head of state could match ex-President Trump’s failure in containing the pandemic crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi could prove everyone wrong by his serial mishandling of Covid-🇮🇳.

Covid-🧟 ♂️

The hypothesis that zombies may be carriers of the coronavirus, which prompted the authorities to lock all cemetery gates or to have security guards patrolling the area at the request of superstitious folks to prevent these walking dead from infecting the general population.

Because the infection and mortality rates of residents living near cemeteries are above those from other neighborhoods, authorities don’t want to take any chances what if those infections and deaths were really due to Covid-🧟 ♂️.

Covid-📝

When Covid-19 quarantines and lockdowns stirred the hearts of tens of thousands of people worldwide to start writing letters to their long-lost friends, hoping that the one address they still have would somehow reach their recipients, as they reminisced the old good days of their friendship—when a pandemic refocuses their thoughts and priorities of what is really important in life.

Covid-19 has ironically brought about many good memories in millions of people, and one of them is to be infected with Covid-📝.

Green Billionaire

A wealthy individual who doesn’t give a heck about owning a private jet, living in a mega-mansion, wearing clothes made from animal skin, or savoring exotic cuisine in far-distant lands.

Wouldn’t the planet have a break if its filthy rich inhabitants made up their minds to become green billionaires?
