When decision makers from Ministry of Education’s around the world continually fail to walk their talk in raising the quantitative literacy of their citizens—lots of BS promises to make themselves sound keen to improve the numeracy rate of the population without implementing oft-painful or unpopular concrete steps to achieving their goal.

When the land of a thousand smiles of 70 million people that shares porous borders with four countries, with 4,000-plus corona cases and 60 deaths so far, is now seeing an outbreak among hundreds of its Myanmar migrants, who work at the Mahachai market—the heart of Thailand's multi-billion-dollar seafood industry.

The obscene number of corona infections and deaths in the United States on January 20, 2021—the dejected President-Loser’s last day at the White House, who thought that lying about the coronavirus, prescribing “miracle cures,” and spewing out conspiracies would reduce his chances of being rejected and ejected.
Covid-19 couldn’t wait to hand over the one-term president’s Covid-20/21 report on his irresponsible and inept handling of the pandemic crisis—whose last day falls on a palindromic date (1/20/21).

When wealthy corona patients try to bribe the hospital to short-circuit the waiting time to get vaccinated, who let the doctors decide what to do with their generous contribution: to pocket it themselves, or to donate it to a charity out of fear of being accused of corruption.
A CEO was about to donate $50,000 to the hospital prior to getting a briccine, but withheld the money when told that he wouldn’t get the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 or the Moderna dosage, but the Sputnik V shot instead—a proof that not all Covid-19 vaccines are treated equal.
