T₀

Read as Trump’s naught or reproduction number. The total number of people Donald J. Trump had infected and is likely to infect in coming days and weeks, because he selfishly and vaingloriously refuses to protect others by wearing a face mask and to isolate himself, when he is still not corona-free and is contagious to others.

Based on media reports, the White House superspreader’s T₀ among his entourage has so far been no fewer than a dozen victims.

Covid-👶

When some high-GDP countries whose low fertility rate is below their mortality rate are offering baby bonus cash gifts to their citizens who give birth during the coronavirus pandemic—the authorities don’t want the plague to prevent their nation from having “corona babies.”

Thanks to Covid-👶, Singaporean families could receive up to $35,000 as Baby Support Grant if they planned to add a new member to their family to help arrest the population decline.

Covid-1984

When corona skeptics, vaccine conspiracy theorists, and those opposed to mandatory vaccines and masks, who claim that any lockdown is causing "more harm than the virus,” stage public rallies to challenge the authorities for infringing their rights and controlling their lives—1984 is a novel by English novelist George Orwell, which examines how facts and truth are politically manipulated by dictators or rogue leaders.

Protesters in the UK are holding placards that says that “Covid-1984 is being used for political purposes and public control.”

🦠₁₉ is winning and 🤥₄₅ is losing.

When the numbers of infections and deaths in the US are surging, while Donald J. Trump’s poll numbers are heading south, when it should be the other round if he was not obsessed with his re-election prospects and valued human lives.

When a corrupt and inept president, who puts profits and polls above principles and people, has a cavalier attitude vis-à-vis his diehard supporters, most of whom refuse to wear a mask and to practice social distancing at his political rallies, considering that he himself flirted with death after he tested positive for the coronavirus—it is no surprise that 🦠₁₉ is winning and 🤥₄₅ is losing.

Horrorscope 2018

1. Dictator Kim of North Korea will join his father and grandfather in hell.

2. President Trump won't get his Dread Wall of Mexico built.

3. President Putin will leave office rejected, ejected, and dejected.

Horrorscope 2018 for both dictators and murderers sounds good news for the world, with the defeat of ISIS and the death of some African dictators.

Naughtical

Saying no to almost anything, or giving zero answers to most questions—when someone is afraid of giving his views on most issues lest he might be taken advantage of by others.

Ali is such a naughtical person that no one wants to include him in their team—he's a complete liability rather than a commendable asset to the company.

Take a Knee

To disrespectfully kneel instead of standing up during the National Anthem to protest against politicians you don’t like, because of their discriminatory practices, racist views, or offensive comments.

Imagine if every time an employee or football player doesn’t like something about their CEO or president, they take a knee—aren’t there better ways to justifiably convey their anger or frustration?
