Covido's definitions

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.

Cørøffin

A custom-made casket resembling the spiky coronavirus that a wealthy person would anonymously order to be sent to the loved ones of their dead business or political foe.

A Wuhan billionaire had commissioned carpenters in North Korea for a cørøffin, which would be flown to the United States as Beijing’s “donation” in the event that a China-unfriendly VIP at the White House experienced his last heartbeat.

Covid-🎲

When bookmakers worldwide are crazy-busy changing the odds on whether President Trump would be re-elected or not, based on the good and bad news that come out about him and his morally bankrupt administration every hour of the day.

Thanks to Covid-🎲, with billions of bucks changing hands, hundreds of millionaires (and thousands of zeronaires) are expected to emerge come November 3.

Psalms 90

A timeless set of biblical verses on how God wants His creation to view the concept of time, which reminds mankind how life is fragile and transient—how His people need to value their limited time on earth while they go through life’s tribulations and experience His recurring deliverance and blessing until their last breath.

In Psalms 90, we’re told that (a) in God’s sight, a thousand years are like a day that has just gone by; (b) the length of our days is 70 years—or 80 years, if we’re strong enough; and (c) we need to ask God to teach us to number our days carefully so that we’ll be wise in how we live.

Covid-🎄

When an inept head of state’s early “Christmas present” to the nation is to implement more draconian measures to contain the coronavirus pandemic, which is worsening by the day, thus making it virtually impossible for people to meet up during the festive season.

In anticipation of a second wave, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is coming up with a set of restrictions for Covid-🎄, which could last a painful six months until March 2021.

Is Covid-19 Blue or Red?

When punters in the US and the UK are betting whether Democratic-run “blue states” or Republican-led “red states” are likely to yield a greater proportion of infections and fatalities come 11/3.

Latest US results showed that around 53% of deaths have so far occurred in "blue" states and 47% in "red" ones. It’s no wonder that bookmakers are frustratingly changing the odds every other day, by constantly asking: “Is Covid-19 Blue or Red?”

Don’t Give Corona a Chance!

When everyone is hell-bent to remain vigilant, so that the coronavirus has near-zero chances of spreading—when people behave as if they would die if they were to contract the virus.

If more fake leaders would promote the “Don’t give corona a chance!” slogan aggressively or paranoically, infections and deaths due to Covid-19 could become a thing of the past.
