Is Covid-19 Blue or Red?

When punters in the US and the UK are betting whether Democratic-run “blue states” or Republican-led “red states” are likely to yield a greater proportion of infections and fatalities come 11/3.
Latest US results showed that around 53% of deaths have so far occurred in "blue" states and 47% in "red" ones. It’s no wonder that bookmakers are frustratingly changing the odds every other day, by constantly asking: “Is Covid-19 Blue or Red?”

Covid-🗽

When dictators or rogue leaders use the pandemic crisis to crack down on political opponents, such as arresting or jailing them on the excuse that they hold public meetings that do not make mask-wearing mandatory or fail to practice social distancing.
Public protests are banned in most dictatorial nations due to alleged Covid-🗽 violations.

Free Rider

A political label for an “ungrateful” citizen who selfishly voted for the opposition to ensure that there are some checks and balances for the ruling party, because they know that the previous government would win again, as the majority of voters trusted them for their decades-long competency and efficiency.
Singapore’s Prime Minister cheekily remarked that those who didn’t vote for his party are “free riders,” who just want to enjoy the best of both worlds: enjoying the financial goodies given out by the government while expecting the opposition to expose any unlucky MPs or ministers who are caught in some unethical or immoral activities like corruption, nepotism, and adultery.

Covid-🇰🇵

The world’s most corona-unfriendly nation with allegedly zero infected cases, because it has completely closed its borders to all aliens, and Dictator-Murderer Kim had ordered that any foreign enemy who tried to cross over to infect the reclusive and starving nation would be shot dead.
With zero infections and deaths, the world’s most isolated and repressive nation prided itself for containing the coronavirus pandemic successfully thanks to draconian Covid-🇰🇵 measures.

Putin Number

A deadly or evil number on the manpower and military equipment, or on the timing of a kidnapping, terrorist attack, or foreign invasion, that Dictator Vladimir Putin would get from his military advisers in order for Russian forces, spies, terrorists, or mercenaries to cause the most damage to their political foes or to any anti-Russia or anti-Putin nations.
Be it in poisoning political foes living in foreign lands, sending extra mercenaries to Ukraine, or shipping ammunition to keep rogue leaders in power, all these evil acts require an optimal Putin number to minimize failure and avoid global embarrassment.

Covid-🐮

When villagers in some parts of Asia could stand to win a live cow every week for the rest of the year if they come forward to get vaccinated—when getting a shot is a cash cow opportunity to improve their livelihood.
Thanks to Covid-🐮, the response among residents in the Mae Chaem district of Chiang Mai province, in Thailand, to register for their jab has been met with much enthusiasm.

Covid-22

Catch-22 during the coronavirus pandemic: if you stay at home, you have no money to feed your family and pay the bills; and if you go out and work, you risk your life and those of your loved ones, especially if some members are prone to contracting the virus due to a poor health condition.
Adios and his wife, both out of work, are in debt and face eviction at the end of the month, with the family of five trying to keep their baby who suffers from a rare disease condition that requires round-the-clock care at home instead of moving to a homeless shelter; however, if they go out to work, the odds of them infecting their little one are pretty high—they’re stuck in a Covid-22 situation.
