Covid-🐼

When China wants to divert the world attention that it is responsible for the coronavirus pandemic, by extending its panda diplomacy in developed countries to mask or vaccine diplomacy in developing nations—it has donated planefuls of free masks to dictatorial regimes, and promises them first-priority vaccines once they are available.

Thanks to Covid-🐼, China hopes to make up for its lies and cover-ups in not alerting the world of the coronavirus pandemic earlier, which could have prevented millions of infections and saved tens of thousands of lives globally.

Carnivak-Cov

Sputnik V for animals, which unprovenly generates antibodies in dogs, cats, foxes, and mink, by protecting them from Covid-19 for at least half a year, and prevents viral mutations from developing.

Just as Sputnik V was the world’s first registered half-baked Covid-19 vaccine for humans, Carnivak-Cov is the world’s first registered half-trialed Covid-19 vaccine for animals—a double first for Russia, as it pursues its vaccine diplomacy in the developing world.

🦤 🔢

Short for “Dodo Math.” Dated math topics, questions, or heuristics that may still interest some curious or eccentric recreational mathematicians or math educators, who in turn might share their “new knowledge” with a geeky or gray-haired audience keen to learn about the mathematics of yesteryear.

Square rooting and finding logarithms with a slide rule and on an abacus are two 🦤 🔢 lessons popular among symbol-minded senior citizens.

Covid-22

Catch-22 during the coronavirus pandemic: if you stay at home, you have no money to feed your family and pay the bills; and if you go out and work, you risk your life and those of your loved ones, especially if some members are prone to contracting the virus due to a poor health condition.

Adios and his wife, both out of work, are in debt and face eviction at the end of the month, with the family of five trying to keep their baby who suffers from a rare disease condition that requires round-the-clock care at home instead of moving to a homeless shelter; however, if they go out to work, the odds of them infecting their little one are pretty high—they’re stuck in a Covid-22 situation.

Spotifying Trump’s Lies

When some Trumpreneurs are entertaining the idea of making the Pinocchio-in-Chief’s manifold lies available on Spotify in different music or podcast formats so that they sound pleasing or soothing to the ears of millions of ultra-MAGA cult members.

Guesstimate how much royalty creators could be raking in every month by Spotifying Trump’s lies in different languages.

Maskquerade

When you act as if you are a better-looking person than what you look like in real life by dressing smartly because your face mask conceals your facial flaws, or you pretend to be a plain Jane via a face mask to avoid or minimize any public stare by dressing sloppily.

Since the start of the pandemic, millions of women (and a few thousand men) have saved lots of money on cosmetics, because they maskquerade themselves so well on those days when they need to go back to the office.

Pi Futurist

A math professor who advises both undergraduate and postgraduate students which area of research on the number π they should embark on in order to increase their chances of getting published in reputable math publications, with minimum frustration and pain.

Dictator Kim is asking comrade Trump whether he’d recommend any ex-lecturer from his now-defunct Trump University, who might be keen to work as a pi futurist for the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology on a three-year contract, with high prospects of securing tenure if local researchers’ submissions grace the pages of math periodicals and journals.
