When Jesus Christ, the King of kings, allows Satan, the “father of lies,” to call on Ms. Corona, the “queen of the viruses,” to roam the earth (and possibly hell, too) to infect millions of people, and to prematurely end the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, rich and poor, or smart and dumb.
Although God has the power to stop the pandemic any time, however, it looks like He decided not to get involved in any conversation between Christ and Corona, or between Corona and Lucifer, for whatever spiritual reasons unknown to the earthlings.

Get the Christ and Coronamug. The awareness that you need to treasure your time on this side of eternity until your last heartbeat, living a purposeful life, and not wasting your life away, complaining that life is not fair, or living dishonestly to acquiring material wealth.
If only more people were to count their blessings, be it beauty, brain, health, or wealth, there would be less comparing with, and complaining about, others—when they can tell friends and foes that “the God who numbers your days is also the One you’d remember in both good and difficult times.”

Get the The God Who Numbers Your Daysmug. Short for “mask haiku.” A three-line poem, written in a 5-7-5 syllable count, that can help activate the oft-atrophied right part of the brain, which is responsible for creativity in the arts.
Let’s indulge in some masikus.
MASK & MATH
Both hide much from us.
If we could see what’s behind
Fear would have to flee.
THE MASK OF MATH
Math won’t reveal much
Until we use our mind’s eye
To see its beauty.
THE MATH OF MASK
Mask diplomacy.
China and Russia ship them
By the ten millions.

Get the Masikumug. The revenue generated in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic for countries that are early or ready to seize business opportunities, be it through the export of face masks, vaccines, or medical equipment.

Get the The Covid Economymug. Short for “negative editor.” A “word doctor” who messes up a manuscript, by creating more work and headache for everyone else—he adds in more shit to an oft-shitty raw manuscript.
Dr. Smith gave up on his publisher after the management refused to change the neditor, who was assigned to his math project.

Get the Neditormug. When someone dextrously or magically uses the fingers of both hands and a lit candle in a dark room to form the silhouette of Donald J. Trump, as a metaphor to expose the unethical or shady acts of the ex-president behind the scenes.
The registration for the Trump Shadow Contest, scheduled to be held this Christmas, is now open to all, regardless of their faith or political affiliation.

Get the Trump Shadowmug. A teaching format that effectively prepares students to the test: worked examples followed by lots of practice on similar questions—algorithmic mastery over conceptual fluency.
Average teachers just love drill-and-kill math, because it gives oft-low self-esteem kids the illusion that they've mastered the concepts—teachers are happy, students gain self-confidence, and parents are pleased with the decent grades.
