Coronabyte

A unit of information equal to ten billion billion (or ten million trillion) bytes: 10¹⁹, or a 1 with 19 zeros at the end—sometimes known as 10 giga-gigabyte (10 × 10⁹ × 10⁹), and written as 1 🦠B.
If all of earthlings’ talks and tweets about Donald J. Trump’s lies and white lies while he was at the White House were to be made available online, would a coronabyte suffice to storing them?

Maskopause

When some people at a certain age can do without a face mask, because apparently their immune system by then is strong enough to fight coronaviruses or their deadlier variants, which goes against the fact that adults or seniors are more prone to getting infected compared to the younger generation.
Guesstimate how many corona-proof people worldwide fall under the maskopause category.

COVID-λ

Read as “Covid-Lambda.” A Covid-19 “variant of interest” according to WHO, which was first identified in Peru in December 2020—it is believed to be more transmissible than the original strain of the coronavirus, but less deadlier than the delta variant.
To protect against variants like Covid-⍺, Covid-𝛿, and Covid-λ, getting vaccinated, avoiding international travel, mask wearing, physical distancing from others, and not attending large social gatherings would minimize the odds of infection and reinfection.

The Covid Economy

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.

Pi Inferiority Complex

When the sight or sound of the symbol π triggers a negative reaction in people’s mind, which makes them feel or think that they are hopeless at school math or algebra or geometry—common symptoms are momentary blackout, faster heartbeat, and sweaty palms.
Guesstimate how many millions of otherwise educated folks worldwide suffer from some form of pi inferiority complex every year.

lazy-roo

A social disease whereby customers use their cellphones to order their food, by being overdependent on food delivery rather than cooking at home, or walking a few minutes to a nearby coffeeshop, hawker center, or foodcourt.
Guesstimate how many Singaporeans suffering from lazy-roo would develop health or mobility issues every year long before they could afford to retire.

Math DJ

An educator who creates beautiful or elegant math, by mixing and matching ideas from different disciplines to vow their audience—they are neither generalist or specialist, who use creative ways to convey difficult math concepts, or are bewitched to come up with intuitive or elegant solutions to math problems.
If math teachers, editors, and writers thought like a math DJ, the public perception of math being a dull or difficult school subject would be a thing of the past.
