Coronavirus Law

If you suspect you have contracted the coronavirus, you are right—it is like Murphy’s Law applied to the “foreign virus,” especially if you are a diehard Trump loyalist.

A corollary to the Coronavirus Law is: “If you are Covid-19-infected, you will also infect others.”

Lockdown

A flowery term for “home jail”—when people are only allowed to go out to buy food or to obtain “essential services,” such as buying guns, getting tattooed, and dog grooming, in the fastest possible time, while interacting with the least number of people to avoid infecting them with the virus.

A lockdown comes in different shapes and sizes, which is based on the country’s infection rate and death toll (and whether its head of state, governor, or mayor is running for a reelection before year end).

Corona Vigilante

Those who think they have the moral authority to take pictures of those who break the lockdown rules during the coronavirus crisis, then post them online to shame the culprits, and in some cases to drag them out of their homes to beat or kill them.

On religious or superstitious grounds, corona vigilantes around the world are taking the law into their own hands during the lockdowns to expose and shame the lawbreakers.

Incoronability

When your body system is averse or resistant to the coronavirus—you are your own vaccine against the deadly virus.

Every time he’s reprimanded by his colleagues for failing to wear a face mask in front of suspected patients, Dr. Raj jokes with them that his incoronability would protect him from Covid-19.

The Coronavirus Is a Black Swan

When the coronavirus is a once-in-a-lifetime event, especially for those who never went through the pain and suffering of a world war, or experienced a pandemic, which killed millions of people.

Like the 9/11 terrorist attack, the coronavirus is a black swan that caught the world unprepared—a “known unknown” that world leaders failed to predict, which occurred sooner than later.
