Wuhan: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🦇 + c
White House: ∫🦠₁₉ dx = 🇨🇳🧫🧪+ c
Singapore: d/dx (🦠₁₉) = 😷x + 💀y
US: d/dx (🤥₄₅ + 🦠₁₉) = 😷ˣ + 💀ʸ

Ms. Corona had to compromise with Lucifer, who wanted her to adopt the slogan “I kill, therefore I am.”; instead, the Father of lies decided to let her use “I infect, therefore I am.”
