Covido's definitions

BT & AT

Short for “Before Trump” and “After Trump.” The four chaotic or dreadful years (2016–2020) a corrupt and inept fake president spent at the White House, whose actions and inactions made him a laughingstock of the world, not forgetting his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, which led to an obscene number of preventable infections and deaths.

A decade or a quarter century from now, Americans would still remember the politically tumultuous 2016–2020 period as the BT & AT years, when the country lost its moral footing on the global stage, thanks to the Pharisee-in-Chief or Pinocchio-in-Chief.

Covid-☯️

When superstitious folks are gullibly led to believe that applying feng shui principles at the entrance of their house or office building would ward off the coronavirus or its deadlier variants—when the yin or negative energies of the pandemic outside would be neutralized by the yang or positive energies inside.

Thanks to Covid-☯️, a number of feng shui masters saw a golden opportunity to prey on the superstitious or frightened folks to grow their paranormal businesses.

Piriosity

When someone is radically curious about the number π, hoping to experience some aha’s once in a while, when she reveals some juicy little theorems or lemmas about her.

The potential extinction of piriosity among math educators in MAGA states is an emergency, which is compounded by politicians’ own agenda to ban “woke math”
curriculums aimed at pacifying voters who want a watered-down version of Common Core Math or Singapore Math.

Covid-🐲

When the spirit of the dragon, a creature worshipped by superstitious mainland Chinese, is demoniacally linked to the coronavirus, which was unprovenly leaked out from a lab in Wuhan, before it spread worldwide—Beijing lied about its initial failure to contain the virus, until whistleblowers informed the world about China’s high number of infections and deaths.

Is there any correlation between Covid-19 and Covid-🐲? How could the dragon, a symbol of power or fertility in Chinese culture, or in Eastern cultures, have anything in common with a symbol of chaos or evil in Western cultures?

Covid-👿

When the number of Covid-19 infections or deaths on a certain day in a country or county reaches the beastly or devilish number 666—when Lucifer and Ms. Corona agree to meet up every now and then to remind health officials and the authorities that they have the power to cause casualties and fatalities if they so wished.

Biblical numerologists and recreational mathematicians try to figure out some possible whys to Covid-👿 occurrences.

Covidosophy

What the pain and suffering of the coronavirus pandemic can teach us about life on this side of eternity, especially what truly matters in this transient life.

Thanks to covidosophy, the oft-avoidable high death toll and political ineptitude of right-wing fake leaders can help us come to terms with the ravages of the pandemic crisis.

Politicians’ Epitaphs

The unspoken words invisibly inscribed on the tombstones of famous or notorious political leaders, whose earthly decisions and actions (or inactions) have positively or negatively impacted millions of people when they were the head of state (or even after they had relinquished power).

A leaked document entitled “Politicians’ Epitaphs” from the secret department of a NATO member state has the following printed:

Here lies Vladimir V. Putin with promises of peace—waiting to be canonized by the Orthodox Church.

Here lies Donald J. Trump with no more lies—hoping to be a future Dalai Lama or Pope.

Here lies Kim Jong-un, on transit to join his dad and grandad—in Hades.

Here lies Robert G. Mugabe on reclaimed white land—still in purgatory.

Here lies Harry Lee Kuan Yew—as long as the whites rule the “fine” city.
