Covido's definitions

Covid-🇭🇺

When Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán used the coronavirus crisis as an excuse to come up with an undemocratic act to grab unlimited political power—for example, someone who is spreading false information about the coronavirus could be jailed up to five years.

Under the cover of the Covid-🇭🇺 pandemic, the Orbán government could declare a “state of health emergency” whenever it wanted to crack down on the Opposition.

Covid-🇲🇺

When the island paradise of Mauritius wished the coronavirus would go the way of the dodo, so that it could welcome back the tourists (and new tax fugitives) to revive its half-dead economy.

How long would the Dodo Island, which hopes that generous China would freely provide her with a million-odd doses of coronavirus vaccine to match her population size, have to wait before Covid-🇲🇺 became a reality?

COVID-🍦

When some mainland Chinese provinces are simplistically tempting vaccine skeptics or anti-vaxxers with buy-one-get-one-free ice cream cones if they get jabbed, as part of their carrot-and-stick strategy.

Is COVID-🍦just a quasi-ineffective primitive marketing gimmick to address vaccine hesitancy among some gullible residents?

Post-Covid Syndrome

A condition whereby some recovering corona patients suffer from cognitive symptoms or delusional disorder—for example, some seniors uncontrollably start spewing out all kinds of lies and conspiracies, or refuse to acknowledge reality.

The president-loser is arguably suffering from post-covid syndrome—is the FDA-unapproved “miracle drug” he took weeks ago now playing tricks on his brain, who is asking his lawyers whether he’d sue the doctors for negligence or incompetence.

Cybersix

When millions of numerically challenged netizens apparently or unexplainably want to read more about the properties of the number six than those of other one-digit whole numbers much to the surprise of mathematicians, psychologists, and even theologians.

Why cybersix attracts so much interest even among math-anxious folks? Are they curious to know more about the six days of creation, as described in the Bible? Do they want to read up about the beautiful properties of the perfect number six? Or, could it be something else that isn’t so obvious to most logical or puritan minds?

COVID-🗿

When the natives of Easter Island realized that with closed borders during the coronavirus pandemic they could no longer depend on tourism for their survival; as a result, they switched to tapu, an ancient Polynesian tradition that is based on protecting their health, their lives, and their elders’ wisdom, with spiritual restrictions and shared prohibitions at its core.

In the long term, COVID-🗿could be a blessing in disguise for Easter Island—which relies so heavily on mainland Chile for food, and its 100,000-odd annual tourists for income—to be self-sustainable and waste-free.

Vaccine Intimacy

The hypothesis that the gender of the offspring of a couple is influenced not only by the jab or booster each party took, but also by the order in which the shots were taken.

A leaked out document from a Chinese lab that is investigating whether vaccine intimacy is pure nonsense or not reveals these alleged possibilities:
Pfizer + Moderna: Boy
Moderna + Pfizer: Girl
Sinovac + Pfizer: Twins
Sputnik + Sinovac + Sinopharm: Unknown
