Zero

The number of people in the Indian diaspora who look forward to be jabbed with Covishield, India’s homegrown coronavirus vaccine, with a number of them hypothesizing whether Trump’s corona cures, such as being injected with disinfectants or radiated by UV light, might inexpensively be more effective.

Politicians claimed that in the first quarter of 2021 zero countries outside India would be allowed to import the much-coveted locally branded Covishield, as vaccine nationalism should come first before aliens could profit from it.

Jesus Christ

The only name that has the power to save, to heal, and to bless—the Name that is above all other names that can set people free from evil spirits and bondages and restore broken relationships.

Jesus Christ gives birth to the Christian community—the only one that exists for the sake of non-members—whose aim is to bring in the lost sheep that are “outside” God’s Kingdom.

4G Singapore Math

Short for fourth generation math syllabus change in Singapore, since the Y2K bug. The Ministry of Education (MOE) is reverting to its old ways of controllably and uncompetitively writing its own elementary math content, instead of outsourcing the task to publishers.

Singapore’s MOE’s rationale to have an open tender in the late nineties was to allow the public to have a choice of “quality” textbooks from both local and foreign publishers, but with 4G Singapore math unfolding, teachers and parents will soon be left with zero choices.

COVID

Short for “Christ Or Vaccines In Doubt.” When believers living in developing countries, most of which have a low percentage of their population being inoculated, can look up to God to protect them against the coronavirus; or they can resort to creative ways, or hope for some rich countries’ donations, for their jabs.

For Psalm 91 believers who long to get a Covid-19 shot, the choice of vaccination is decided: COVID!
