All Trump Lies Are True.

When the world has quasi-zero reasons to doubt the Liar-in-Chief’s manifold falsehoods, because what he says is false is true, and what he says is true is false—does this arguably paradoxical statement make him a truth-teller or a liar?

Doesn’t the statement “All Trump lies are true.” sound like a paradox? If he lies, this means that what he says isn’t true, which makes him a truth-teller. If he doesn’t lie, this means what he says is false, which makes him a liar. So, is he a liar or a truth-teller?

MASK Is a Four-Letter Word

When non-mask-wearing in public has become a symbol of noncompliance, defiance, or rebellion among members of right-wing political parties or alt-right religious or conspiratorial groups.

Hardcore white racists and supremacists in the US and the West deny the protective health benefits of the mask against the coronavirus—for them, mask is a four-letter word, and donning a mask is a vain habit of the weaklings, who have surrendered their personal rights to the authority.

Mortal Mask

A mask brushed with toxic chemicals on the inside that is offered to unsuspected or innocent strangers, who would lose consciousness once they wear it at the request of their evil donors, who would then rob their victims.

At secluded traffic junctions, it’s not uncommon for criminals in police uniforms to stop a car whose driver and fellow passenger are both unmasked, who would be handed a pair of mortal masks to wear before they’re allowed to drive off.

Coronamatics

Short for the mathematics of the coronavirus. How corona statistics and math modeling could be used to understand the deadly behavior of the virus, and how to rely on predictions to contain its spread in the community or country.

Coronamatics provides health officials viral insights how to manage the pandemic crisis: Should they lockdown the entire nation again? How long should a new nationwide restriction last? Should schools be closed? Should vaccinated tourists be allowed to revive the economy?

Thou Needn’t Wear a Mask

When a head of state is against the use of masks in public in response to widespread violent protests in their land, so that the police could identify and arrest the rioters; or in case any public mask hoarding could deprive hospitals of them—either situation contradicts public health measures in a pandemic.

During the coronavirus crisis, the implicit “Thou needn’t wear a mask” message only raises panic in the population that there aren’t enough masks available for everyone.

Mask Care

When you religiously or selflessly carry out wearing a mask at home lest you might infect your bunny, cat, dog, goldfish, or hamster—you don’t mind some inconvenience or sacrifice because of your love for your pet.

If you truly value your pet as a member of the extended family, will you go the extra second mile in practicing mask care to protect them against Covid-19?
