Santa Claus is immune to Covid-19

WHO’s comforting message to millions of anxious children worldwide about Father Christmas to assure them (without proof) that despite his older age they needn’t worry about his health during this pandemic crisis, as he would be able to deliver their presents on Christmas Eve—however, they are reminded that they and Santa Claus must adhere to physical social distancing and must obey their parents to sleep early on December 24.

Because Santa Claus is immune to Covid-19, WHO confirmed that most countries—except those few nations that forbid Christmas because it is an “infidel” or pagan festival—would relax their quarantine rules to enable Santa and his flying reindeer to enter their airspace, so that he could uninterruptedly and unobstructively deliver the presents before December 25.

Why Singapore?

1. Tax haven for Eduardo Saverin-like fugitives and gambling hub for syndicates.
2. Housing for hard-to-please Asian mistresses or mainland Chinese concubines.
3. Housing for illegitimate children and adopted godchildren or grandchildren.
4. Second residence in case of rioting against minority Chinese in home country.
5. Safety and security because public protests or strikes and guns are banned.
6. Wayward son or daughter attending international school or local polytechnic.
7. Filthy rich Japanese and Arabs seeking kinky sex escorts at five-star hotels.

Singapore is more than a mere tourist destination of choice. Ever wondered the unspoken “why Singapore?” for businessmen and long-term foreign residents?

Maskhole-in-Chief

A fake medical doctor or pseudoscientific folk who argues that anyone wearing a mask in public after being vaccinated or recovered from an infection is mere theater, because there is apparently zero proof that they can spread the coronavirus or be infected, or become re-infected.

For political or public vanity, Maskhole-in-Chief Rand Paul argues that an inoculated person wearing a mask is just for show rather than serves as a protective measure against the deadlier variants of the virus.

Think like Pi

The mathematical equivalent of thinking like a child, who uniquely looks at the world imaginatively, playfully, or creatively, much to the delight of others who might even experience an aha! moment from their spontaneous response or behavior.

If mathematical constants like e and 𝛷 were to think like pi, by consciously or freely promoting themselves regularly, there is no reason that they couldn’t be as popular and interesting as the beloved π.

Omicron Variant

The new shiny Covid-19 mutant first detected in South Africa that is currently in the limelight, as it hopes to eclipse the delta variant, by being the most infectious and transmissible viral killer in causing the most number of infections and deaths worldwide in 2021 and beyond.

The apparently deadliest omicron variant, which offers little protection against currently WHO-approved vaccines, looks like another devil-sent gift to vaccine producers to help them further profit or profiteer from the pandemic.

Corona Calculus

The use of differentiation and integration symbols to hypothesize the infection and mortality rates of change in many parts of the developed world. For example, which of the following Covid-19 hypotheses are worth investigating further?

Wuhan: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🦇 + c
White House: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🇨🇳🧫🧪+ c

Singapore: d/dx (🦠₁₉) = 😷x + 💀y
US: d/dx (🤥₄₅ + 🦠₁₉) = 😷ˣ + 💀ʸ

Corona calculus helps us to differentiate between facts and falsehoods about the coronavirus, while we integrate the latest effective preventive measures adopted by countries with low infections and deaths to control the pandemic crisis.

Don’t be afraid of Covid.

Donald J. Trump’s frighteningly callous or cold-hearted message to Americans not to let the coronavirus control their lives, as if they could just utter a simple prayer for it to go away, for he is the living proof that he has triumphed over the virus thanks to 24/7 world-class medical care and “compassionate drugs,” which very few of them would get access to.

President Trump’s “Don’t be afraid of Covid.” tweet is not only offensive or repugnant to the families and friends of the 210,000-odd people who had died, and of the 7.5 millions who were infected, of Covid-19, but also irresponsible or ill-advised to those who are struggling to protect themselves and those around them.
