When math educators fly to the “fine” city of Singapore to attend a pep talk on the bar model method, and to visit a local school and watch a teacher conduct a problem-solving math lesson, before spending the rest of their educational trip on shopping and sightseeing.
When Singapore Math tourism visitors flew back home, they’d excitedly tell their principals or superintendents to embrace the Singapore Math model, by substituting their present dear mile-wide-inch-deep textbooks with wallet-friendly Singapore math titles, often much to the disapproval of their colleagues, who want to “Make US Math Great Again.”

In the aftermath of many leaders’ fake 2020 vision, even with vaccination presently being rolled out in many developed countries, life in 2021 is unlikely to return to its pre-pandemic days.

On moral grounds, rich countries face a vaccine dilemma: should they let medical personnel from rogue or dictatorial nations like North Korea and Venezuela be jabbed first before their own people?

Get the Vaccine Dilemmamug. When a number of Western countries would not allow travellers who have been jabbed with vaccines not manufactured in the West to enter, because the quality or efficacy of those allegedly “Eastern shots” is suspicious.
If the global vaccine divide were to be enforced, which means that vaccines like Covishield, Sinovac, Sinopharm, and Sputnik V wouldn’t be recognized in the EU (and possibly in the US), how much would global tourism or economy be decimated? Would the “vaccine apartheid” perpetrated by the West potentially usher in a World War III?

Get the The Global Vaccine Dividemug. The hypothesis that people of certain astrological signs are more prone to die from, or be infected with, the coronavirus regardless whether they believe in horoscope or not.
Paranormal researchers are struggling to get the astrological make-up of those who worked for the Trump administration to divine a corona horrorscope chart for folks who believe that there is a correlation between infection (or death) and astrology.

When people in some places are more likely to be bitten by a snake or cobra during a lockdown than contracting the coronavirus—these venomous reptiles are being spotted more frequently as they search for smaller or middle sized animals, which have moved away from their natural habitat, to survive.
Due to frequent lockdowns in a number of cities in China, people are more afraid of Covid-🐍 than Covid-19.

The substitute for breastfeeding, where bottlefed babies are more likely to develop asthma and diabetes than their breastfed counterparts, and the risks of nursing moms having breast cancer are lower—nothing to do with math teachers spoonfeeding students with formulas as a shortcut to painful teaching.
Unlike in breastfeeding, when the father is 100% absent, in formula feeding, both father and mother have a 50% chance of developing an early bond with the baby.
