Grow the Pi

When you give the value of the number π correct to more significant figures or decimal places in order that a better pi approximation could be used in a calculation.
Rocket scientists want to grow the pi to play safe, because working with more digits would help reduce any loss in human lives.

Omicron Variant

The new shiny Covid-19 mutant first detected in South Africa that is currently in the limelight, as it hopes to eclipse the delta variant, by being the most infectious and transmissible viral killer in causing the most number of infections and deaths worldwide in 2021 and beyond.
The apparently deadliest omicron variant, which offers little protection against currently WHO-approved vaccines, looks like another devil-sent gift to vaccine producers to help them further profit or profiteer from the pandemic.

Mathematica Nostalgia

Thoughts of yesteryear that remind you of those times when you longed for math to be an optional school subject, or hoped that your math teacher would be abducted by aliens.
Seeing her two boys struggle with the most disliked school subject evokes feelings of mathematica nostalgia in Mrs. Paul, who suffered from mathophobia when faced with brain-unfriendly word problems.

Covid-☠️🤥

When bad hombres plan to poison God’s “anointed one” because they are dead sick of his corona conspiracies and “cures,” and of his refusal to concede defeat in the 2020 presidential election, which he baselessly claimed to be fraudulent.
God forbids that anyone should harm the Liar-in-Chief or Pharisee-in-Chief, especially when Covid-☠️🤥 threats are disturbingly gaining more “likes” on social media.

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?

Practice Safe Six

Short for “Thou shalt be at least two meters away from each other in public” to minimize the odds of being infected with the coronavirus.
With tens of thousands of diehard Trumpists and hardcore QAnonists in a number of red states selfishly refusing to wear a mask and to practice safe six, is it any surprise that the country has the world’s highest number of corona fatalities and infections?

Covid-👻

When Halloween in many parts of the world could turn out to be the scariest or deadliest festival of the year, as authorities deploy more personnel to ensure that people attending Halloween parties adhere to social distancing guidelines.
In Seoul, it’s not uncommon due to Covid-👻 to spot posters with the caption “Don’t end up a real ghost!” outside nightclubs.
