Covid-🇲🇺

When the island paradise turned tax haven, which used to earn its main revenue by exporting quality raw sugar, wished the coronavirus would suffer the same fate as the dodo—Mauritius needs tourists and tax fugitives to come back to revive its comatose economy.
How long would Mauritius—a lackey of China, which could easily or freely provide her with a million-odd doses of coronavirus vaccine to match her population size—have to wait before Covid-🇲🇺 became a reality?

Mathematical Grawlix

A string of typographical and mathematical symbols, such as $#√(-1)+ and ∫eˣ = f(uⁿ), used in place of an obscenity, especially among geeks on social media.

Covid-🇸🇪

When Sweden initially adopted a laissez-faire approach to deal with the coronavirus crisis, by not imposing a lockdown, allowing non-essential businesses to operate, and making physical distancing optional, which resulted in a death rate that is five to six times higher than that of its Scandinavian neighbors.
Sweden’s controversial strategy of aiming for herd immunity while imposing few restrictions on its population to contain the Covid-🇸🇪 crisis had turned out to be a social experiment fiasco for its political leaders—its death rate had led its neighbors to keep their borders closed to the Swedish people and products.

🦤 🔢

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-🎄

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.

Covid-👻

When diehard party-goers insist on attending a Halloween party in the midst of the pandemic, because they conspiratorially claim that the coronavirus is dead scared of ghosts and spirits here on Earth and in Hell.
To fight Covid-👻, both QAnonists and alt-right Trumpists are reluctantly wearing “frightening” masks this Halloween to scare off the Wuhan virus.

Green Billionaire

A wealthy individual who doesn’t give a heck about owning a private jet, living in a mega-mansion, wearing clothes made from animal skin, or savoring exotic cuisine in far-distant lands.
Wouldn’t the planet have a break if its filthy rich inhabitants made up their minds to become green billionaires?
