Lockdown 2.0 

An often less draconian or more relaxed house confinement for residents of some cities or counties, or for the entire country, which may last a few weeks or even months in the aftermath of an increasing infection or mortality rate in the population.
A number of dictatorial or weak regimes are leveraging on Lockdown 2.0 to postpone the general election on the excuse that holding one during the pandemic crisis would unavoidably lead to more infections and deaths.

Covid-bellied 

Those who had unhealthily put on some extra pounds during the coronavirus outbreak, as they stayed at home snacking junk food, smoking cannabis, or swallowing wine or alcohol to kill time.
Guesstimate how many millions of people worldwide had ended up being Covid-bellied since they were forced into quarantine or lockdown.

Covid-🇲🇻 

When tourists to Muslim-majority Maldives, where the quality of its health infrastructure is questionable, needn’t serve any quarantine on arrival, but have to bear any medical costs should they be infected with the coronavirus—a catch-22 situation where they are most likely to be buried on one of the islands should they fail to recover even with access to a China-made ventilator.
With India donating their homegrown half-baked vaccine to Maldives as part of their vaccine diplomacy to sideline China, and with the local population getting inoculated, the odds of half-hearted budget tourists facing a Covid-🇲🇻 situation are lower.

CoⓋid-19

One way to inform others in writing that you have been vaccinated against the coronavirus with the assumption that the odds of infecting them are quasi-zero.
Guesstimate what percentage of CoⓋid-19 math teachers and tutors in China, India, or Russia might still be infectious if 99.99% of them were jabbed with their homegrown vaccines.

Corona Equation 

A numerical statement that exposes the cause for the high number of infections and fatalities in a country, which is often due to the actions (or inactions) of a fake or inept head of state and the failure of his semi-skilled administration in containing the coronavirus pandemic.
A corona equation expected to hold true on 1/20/21—the last day of Donald J. Trump at the White House—is: 🤥₄₅ + 🦠₁₉ = 24M 😷’s + 400K 💀’s.

Covid Rule 

When a thin majority or weak government declares a nationwide state of emergency as an excuse to curb the spread of the coronavirus to hang on to power, or to prevent the administration from collapsing.
Malaysian PM resorts to Covid rule to suspend the parliament, thus preventing any elections to be held during the emergency, which could last until 2022, when the situation returned to normal.

Palindromic Death 

When a 91-year-old person who died of Covid-19 made the headlines, which tickles some readers to figure out the odds that the age of the victim and the coronavirus are palindromes.
Guesstimate how many folks worldwide experience the palindromic death phenomenon in 2020.
