Covid Exploitation

When employers and factories use the pandemic as an excuse to unfairly terminate workers, or to close the workplaces by offering them zero compensation.

Guesstimate how many migrant workers in the Middle East and in Asia have so far fallen prey to covid exploitation by their unscrupulous employers.

Covid Fate

That someone will die of the coronavirus, whether they get vaccinated or not, is determined by their Creator, who has the final say on their last day on earth.

If your time to journeying to the other side of eternity has come or hasn’t arrived yet, regardless of the pandemic situation around you, or of the necessary health precautions you’ve taken, it all boils down to your covid fate, and not because of a deadlier variant of the virus that is hell-bent to ending your life prematurely.

Covid-🇨🇷

When Costa Rica becomes the first country in the world to make it mandatory for children to be vaccinated, with about 1.5 million doses to be given to those aged five to 11—vaccination with apparently no serious side effects in this age group would arguably help stop infected children from spreading the virus to others.

Even if the US has approved the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for 28 million young Americans, making it mandatory for children in red states would further polarize the nation, because a Covid-🇨🇷 template would face strong parental opposition in the name of freedom of choice and due to the risk of juvenile death.

Pi Apparition

When the ghost or spirit of the number π would appear to some lucky mathematicians or math educators to reveal to them some of her sexy numerical, geometric, or trigonometric properties—when they least expect her to visiting them, while experiencing an aha!

Unlike demonic apparitions that petrify even diehard Proud Boys “patriots,” pi apparitions are welcomed by both the mathematical brethren and the numerological fraternity.

Out-of-Bounds Calculus

Unexpected or surprising examples, interesting problems, and clever proofs on calculus that are often counterintuitive or paradoxical—the oddities that most math students are seldom exposed to during their calculus lessons.

Be it a continuous function whose graph possesses a tangent at no point, or a continuous function that has infinitely many maxima and minima on a finite interval, or a shape that has finite area but infinite perimeter, these examples of out-of-bounds calculus seldom fail to trigger an aha! reaction among math geeks.

Covid-👽

When conspiracists or hoaxers claim that the coronavirus is dead scared of aliens, ghosts, or spirits, which means that someone is safer in the presence of these dark or evil forces.

A number of diehard QAnonists refused to wear any masks at Halloween parties because of their pseudoscientific Covid-👽 beliefs.

Covid-🐡

When the consumption of the fugu (or puffer or blowfish), which is known as being lethally poisonous unless properly prepared, is touted as an unproven cure to the coronavirus.

In Japan, the authorities have yet to report how many customers who were recently hospitalized were due to Covid-🐡 rather than Covid-19.
