Variant of Godwin's Law, popular in Scotland.

"I'm voting 'Yes' in the referendum."

Bogdan's Law 

In FPS games (specifically Counter Strike), a common saying and practice to give a player with low hp the AWP (Sniper Rifle) in order so that they can attempt to get a one shot kill without having to take a rifle battle which almost always would be dubious with such low hp. Named after a former semi-pro csgo player Bogdan.

Bogdan's Law can be easily nuanced in different situations and doesn't always apply to every low health situation. (Such as the low hp player taking the awp and swinging Catwalk on Dust II.)
Player1: I have 1 hp and can hold palace, give me the AWP.
Player2: Ok
Player 3: Bogdan's Law

Coronavirus Law 

If you suspect you have contracted the coronavirus, you are right—it is like Murphy’s Law applied to the “foreign virus,” especially if you are a diehard Trump loyalist.
A corollary to the Coronavirus Law is: “If you are Covid-19-infected, you will also infect others.”
