A more respectable title Ms. Corona’s lawyers wanted WHO to use rather than Covid-19 in recognition of her lethal power in inflicting pain and suffering to millions of people globally, especially vis-à-vis those whom she felt gracious enough not to end their lives prematurely.
If the world continues to casually call her “Covid” or “Corona” instead of formally addressing her as “Covid the 19th,” Princess Corona threatens to mutate into the deadlier Covid-20, which could send most of the earthlings to the fearful side of eternity sooner than later.

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.

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.

The pseudoscience of divining or predicting someone’s personality based on their blood type—for instance, those with B+ are deemed tolerant and ambitious, while those with B– are inflexible and negative.
Comedians are trying to find out whether or not Donald Trump’s blood type is O-, which would then confirm that bloodology exceptionally or situationally works for the “narrow-minded, narcissistic” Liar-in-Chief.

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.
