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.

While the world is tired and sick of her, Ms. Corona is healthier and deadlier than ever to prolong her existence on the planet, by seducing more maskless victims; and she is even prepared to journey with those who are heading to the fiery side of eternity.
The coronavirus desires to live and linger among the earthlings, especially those who have faith in pseudoscience and conspiracies—although we are sick of her, Covid-19 is not sick of us.

Arguably the most notorious problem in the history of mathematics: mathematicians’ secret desire to solve it to achieve mathematical fame and immortality had saved a few lives, whose suicidal minds were so absorbed in their proofs that they forgot to end their lives prematurely.
A generalized version of the Pythagorean theorem, the Fermat’s Last Theorem was finally put to rest by Prof. Wiles, after an error was exposed in the first proof he unveiled to the mathematical brethren.

When people are anxious or stressed by the tweets, white lies, and actions of President Trump, who might affect them and their families—for example, children of illegal immigrants are fearful what might happen to their parents if the president signs a law to send back all aliens.
Those who become anxious by just thinking about the idiotic and idiosyncratic Donald need to learn not to be a victim of the Trump Stress Syndrome, which could have a detrimental effect on their mental or psychological well-being.

The politically correct term for white supremacists-turned-terrorists, or brainwashed conspiracists-turned-extremists, who rationalize that merely holding peaceful protests would not prevent an “illegitimate” president-elect who “stole the vote” from taking office, much less stop socialism and communism to take root in the country, but mob violence could grant them their political wish.
After the armed insurrection perpetrated by his diehard supporters who broke into the Capitol and changed the American flag with the Trump flag, Donald J. Trump called those rioters and thugs "great patriots."

In most cases, semi-numerate politicians themselves are clueless how to solve these alt-left math questions, who often attribute the high innumeracy rate among certain racial or religious groups to pure laziness and poor study habits.

Although a number of countries that embraced Singapore math have seen significant improvement in their students’ math scores, however, without parental and societal pressures for a nation to become numerate, at best cosmetic changes would result even with the best math curriculum in place.
