Covid-🗽

When dictators or rogue leaders use the pandemic crisis to crack down on political opponents, such as arresting or jailing them on the excuse that they hold public meetings that do not make mask-wearing mandatory or fail to practice social distancing.

Public protests are banned in most dictatorial nations due to alleged Covid-🗽 violations.

Covid Hobbid

A hobby that one picked up during the COVID-19 pandemic

During quarantine, my COVID hobbid was popping pills and completing puzzles.

The big covid

Period of time in history in which you wished all of your enemies got crushed by a furnace, but they didn’t.
2020-???

My dad just wished one day for the big covid: except he has no friends.

Covid-🇳🇵

When tourism-dependent Nepal reopens Mount Everest to climbers and trekkers despite having the second highest infection rate in South Asia, after India—it has a population of 30 million people and relies on hundreds of foreign diehard mountaineers every year to feed its 200,000 sherpas, guides, and porters.

The Nepalese government has been criticized for being more preoccupied with their party’s in-fighting politics than the coronavirus pandemic—they’re ill-equipped to contain the Covid-🇳🇵situation in the face of zero community based isolation centers and limited ICU beds.

Covid-👻

When diehard party-goers who superstitiously believe that the coronavirus is scared of ghosts are required by the authorities to wear a “frightening” mask to remind onlookers that the virus won’t take a break just because it is Halloween.

Unlike Muslim-majority countries that ban Halloween because it is against Islamic teachings, a number of Western nations are allowing the “infidel“ festival to proceed provided the organizers strictly enforce Covid-👻 rules.

covid gumping

Name given to the act of distance running as a hobby only induced by covid and the relative lack of things to do.

Of late, I've been pretty into covid gumping.
