Covido's definitions

Braccine

When wealthy corona patients want to bribe doctors so that they needn’t wait for weeks or months to be vaccinated—they let the doctors decide what they wish to do with their generous contribution: to keep it for themselves, or to donate it to a charity (out of guilt).

A CEO was about to donate $50,000 to the hospital for getting a braccine, but withheld the money when he’s told that he wouldn’t be getting the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 or the Moderna dosage, but the Sputnik V shot instead—a proof that not all Covid-19 vaccines are treated equal.

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.

Covidead-19

When the number of people in a country or city who suffer their last heartbeat due to the coronavirus on a given day is exactly nineteen.

Superstitious gamblers in some Asian countries morbidly think that 1919 is a “lucky” 4D number if they witness a Covidead-19 tragedy.

Covid-19(19)

When the number of new coronavirus infected cases (local or/and imported) in a country or city is one short of a score.

On December 20, 2020, Singapore experienced a Covid-19(19) phenomenon, which prompted some punters to bet on the alleged lucky 4D number 1919.

Covid-🇹🇭

When the land of a thousand smiles of 70 million people that shares porous borders with four countries, with 4,000-plus corona cases and 60 deaths so far, is now seeing an outbreak among hundreds of its Myanmar migrants, who work at the Mahachai market—the heart of Thailand's multi-billion-dollar seafood industry.

Will Thailand’s attempts to revive its hard-hit tourism industry, by easing restrictions to allow more foreigners to visit the kingdom, be put on hold again due to the latest Covid-🇹🇭 crisis?

Con-19

Someone who tries to extort money from others during the coronavirus pandemic, by pretending to be a law enforcer—for example, they would catch others sans a face mask, then ask them for a bribe to help the victims avoid paying a hefty fine or being in jail.

Thousands of con-19s from all corners of the globe have emerged to prey on the gullible or superstitious folks.

Covid-🇷🇺

When Russia even with its much publicized home-made, half-baked vaccine, Sputnik V, named after the first satellite in space, is registering new heights in corona infections and deaths—both local critics and aliens are 99.99% certain that Putin & Co. are downplaying and falsifying coronavirus figures.

With underfunded hospitals and shortage of medicines, and with a corrupt dictatorship that is notorious for serially lying to its people, is it surprising that Russia is presently experiencing a Covid-🇷🇺 crisis?
