Covid-Creative

When your impact on the unprepared or reckless or irresponsible is as infectious or deadly as the coronavirus, because you strike your target when they least expect it.

Be it in business, politics, or life in general, being covid-creative would see you through the good and bad times.

COVID-13

A surge in infections and deaths on a Friday the thirteenth, compared to the figures on other dates, which led the authorities to wonder whether the most fearful or unluckiest date in the calendar in the developed world was a catalyst to the higher infection and mortality rates.

Whether COVID-13 victims suffered a double whammy or not is a topic of discussion suited for numerologists and astrologers rather than for scientists and politicians.

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?

Covid-🇳🇵

When tourism-dependent Nepal reopens Mount Everest to climbers and trekkers despite having the second highest infection rate in South Asia, after India—it has a population of 30 million people and relies on hundreds of foreign diehard mountaineers every year to feed its 200,000 sherpas, guides, and porters.

The Nepalese government has been criticized for being more preoccupied with their party’s in-fighting politics than the coronavirus pandemic—they’re ill-equipped to contain the Covid-🇳🇵situation in the face of zero community based isolation centers and limited ICU beds.

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.

Covid-20/21

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).

TikTok Math

When math educators could tap on the rich made-in-China app’s potential, which is popular among millennials and creatives worldwide, to depict the lighter or irreverent side of math and math education, by sending the subtle or sexy message that math needn’t be a four-letter “four-letter” word.

If teachers and tutors were to leverage on TikTok Math possibilities or prospects to help raise the quantitative literacy of millions of math-anxious students, billions of dollars could be saved by many Ministries of Education worldwide every year.
