When the most important day of the year for millions of earthly fathers in pre-pandemic days is already low key or an almost a non-event, unlike Mother’s Day that looks more like a year long affair— Father’s Day has taken a back seat in human or family relationship during this coronavirus crisis, when eating or dining out is forbidden in many parts of the world that are experiencing their second, third, or fourth wave.
This year, ironically or sadly speaking, in a number of liberal countries, Father’s Day in a pandemic is being celebrated in homes where the child is looked after by two dads rather than one—it’s Fathers’ Day, or Father’s Day 2.0, that would test the moral or social fabric of Generation Y or Z in coming decades.

Unrealistic or nonsensical word or story problems, routine and nonroutine, that may or not be solvable—however, most of them serve to humorize, parodize, or satirize mathematics.
One question from “The Bigly Book of Fake Math Problems” is the following: “At a Trump rally, if 10 coronaviruses infect 10 diehard supporters in 10 minutes, how many of these foreign viruses will be needed to infect 100 supporters in 50 minutes?”

When someone’s worth as a person in society is often defined by their grade in school math, which means that the odds of their securing a promising career or future look bleak if they were not born with the “mathematical gene” or didn’t have a silver-spoon upbringing.
Guesstimate how many millions of otherwise intelligent people worldwide have their dreams dashed every year, because the course they plan to study in college requires them to have a passing grade in math or statistics or calculus—in other words, what percentage of the world’s population has been unfairly or unjustifiably been masked by math?

A paranormal corona cure endorsed by nationalistic Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his gang of gurus, although any negative correlation between meditation and viral infection has yet to be proven.
Just as the American right-wing ex-president promoted disinfectants and UV light as corona cures to his millions of diehard supporters, the Indian prime minister is now touting yoga as a spiritual cure against Covid-19 and the deadlier Delta variant to his hardcore BJP supporters.

A Hindu form of breathing exercise, which includes meditation and spiritual practices, whose allegedly “protective” properties could shield someone from the coronavirus—a pseudoscientific cure promoted by no other than nationalistic Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and his gang of “corona gurus.”
Just as the American ex-president promoted disinfectants and UV light as corona cures to his millions of diehard supporters, the Indian prime minister is now touting yoga as a spiritual cure against Covid-19 and the deadlier “Delta” variant to his hardcore BJP supporters.

The coronavirus’s motto until its days on earth are numbered—when the chances of its deadliest strand winning the viral war are near-zero; henceforth, it would journey to hell and to other galactic regions to claim more lives.
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.”

The opposite of diversity, which white racists or supremacists unashamedly embrace, because having non-white smarter staff or colleagues in the workplace would threaten their job security and expose their bigotry and ineptitude.
Trump’s dieversity strategy benefits him and his cronies in the short term, but not the once-known country of opportunity for everybody willing to work hard and smart.
