Corona Angle 

An angle that is approximately 19 degrees, such as the external angle of a regular 19-sided polygon.
During this pandemic crisis, math teachers have been told to avoid setting geometry questions whose answers are a corona angle—that “deadly” acute angle that looks cute on the surface.

Cørøna Day 

When there are no new cases of corona infections or deaths on a given day, which should be treated more as an anomaly rather than a new reality, especially in places that have recently recorded a low infection or mortality rate.
Although the infection rate in the local community is low or zero, however, with new daily corona cases from returnees who have been stranded overseas for months, it’s unlikely that the country would witness a Cørøna Day any time soon.

Covidated 

When the number of new coronavirus infections or deaths on a given day happens to be the same as the date when the figure was announced—for example, Australia had 14 Covid-19 deaths on August 14.
Are the odds of a nation being covidated higher than the chances of it being hit by an earthquake?

Covid-91° 

When the authorities could not confirm how many people who died of forest fires, when the temperature then was about 91 degrees centigrade, were already infected with the coronavirus (and were probably on the way to the other side of eternity).
In California, the public was clueless how many of the two-dozen-odd deaths were Covid-91° victims.

Trumpected 

When someone is not corona-free, yet tells everybody that they are no longer contagious, or that they are immune from catching the virus again.
With his doctors withholding information to the public about his corona condition, the trumpected superspreader told his love-hate TV channel that he’s ready to resume campaign rallies.

Don’t be afraid of Covid! 

What Donald J. Trump cold-heartedly tweeted to Americans to “prove” to them that he had triumphed over the virus, as if everybody could have access to 24/7 world-class medical care and to experimental medications as him to speed up their recovery.
President Trump’s “Don’t be afraid of Covid!” is not only offensive or repugnant to the families and friends of the 210,000-odd people who had died of Covid-19, and to the 7.5 million of people who had contracted the virus, but also irresponsible or ill-advised to the American public, who are repulsed by his lack of sympathy.

Covidiocy 

A synonymous word to describe Trump’s insane, irrational, lunatic, or stupid thought or behavior vis-à-vis the coronavirus—for example, he posted on Facebook that Covid-19 is less deadly than the seasonal flu.
Which is more dangerous or deadly for America: Covidiocy or white supremacy?
