When Jesus Christ, the King of kings, allows Satan, the “father of lies,” to call on Ms. Corona, the “queen of the viruses,” to roam the earth (and possibly hell, too) to infect millions of people, and to prematurely end the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, rich and poor, or smart and dumb.
Although God has the power to stop the pandemic any time, however, it looks like He decided not to get involved in any conversation between Christ and Corona, or between Corona and Lucifer, for whatever spiritual reasons unknown to the earthlings.

Get the Christ and Coronamug. The awareness that you need to treasure your time on this side of eternity until your last heartbeat, living a purposeful life, and not wasting your life away, complaining that life is not fair, or living dishonestly to acquiring material wealth.
If only more people were to count their blessings, be it beauty, brain, health, or wealth, there would be less comparing with, and complaining about, others—when they can tell friends and foes that “the God who numbers your days is also the One you’d remember in both good and difficult times.”

Get the The God Who Numbers Your Daysmug. The revenue generated in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic for countries that are early or ready to seize business opportunities, be it through the export of face masks, vaccines, or medical equipment.
How much is the Covid economy worth annually, as big and small developed countries leverage on the misfortunes of other nations to revive their economy and increase their GDP?

Get the The Covid Economymug. Short for “mask haiku.” A three-line poem, written in a 5-7-5 syllable count, that can help activate the oft-atrophied right part of the brain, which is responsible for creativity in the arts.
Let’s indulge in some masikus.
MASK & MATH
Both hide much from us.
If we could see what’s behind
Fear would have to flee.
THE MASK OF MATH
Math won’t reveal much
Until we use our mind’s eye
To see its beauty.
THE MATH OF MASK
Mask diplomacy.
China and Russia ship them
By the ten millions.

Get the Masikumug. When white racists or supremacists claim that the racial mix of their country that belongs to their ancestors who first came to the land is now being disrupted by the growing population of the black and people of color, and by the influx of both illegal and legal immigrants from third world countries, and they need to do something about it to prevent themselves from becoming the minority group in the country.
From the US to the UK to Australia, right-wing politicians are promoting the great replacement theory among frustrated or unemployed voters, who feel that their lands are being invaded by Mohammedans, Africans, Asians, and refugees, who would one day form the majority of the population, if there is zero restriction on immigration.

Get the Great Replacementmug. When someone decides to coin a math word or phrase, or to redefine an existing one, without fear of being censured, rebuked, punished, or fired.
Urban Dictionary remains the social platform of choice for mathematically irreverent writers, who just want to sexify or spice the most boring or disliked school subject for millions of students worldwide.

Get the Mathematically Irreverentmug. When Singapore’s affirmative action allows Malay students to pay zero school fees all the way up to their tertiary education, which has raised the mathematical proficiency of the Malay community over the decades—Malay math students, of which 99⁺% are Muslims, have fared reasonably well in international comparative studies like TIMSS and PISA vis-à-vis their foreign counterparts, albeit they still have some catching up to do compared to their local peers from other races.
Years ago, based on some TIMSS rankings, a Malay cabinet minister had figured out that Singapore Malay students are unofficially among the “world’s top ten,” which positively suggests that Malay math policies have helped raise the quantitative literacy of the Malay or Muslim community in Singapore.
