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.

Trumpected

When someone is not corona-free, yet tells everybody that they are no longer contagious, or that they are immune from catching the virus again.

With his doctors withholding information to the public about his corona condition, the trumpected superspreader told his love-hate TV channel that he’s ready to resume campaign rallies.

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 double crises of military coup and Covid-19 pandemic could push half of the population of Myanmar, one of Asia’s poorest countries, below the poverty line of $1.10 a day, by completely wiping out the progress the country has made in reducing poverty over the last one and a half decades.

With ongoing protests against the military rule in which thousands of blue- and white-collar workers have gone on strike with the aim of disrupting the economy and unseating the coup leaders, would Burma ever recover from the Covid-🇲🇲 crisis without a people’s revolution to kick the military junta out of the political system?

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?
