vvacinatedd

Dangerously, irresponsibly, and selfishly receiving another two more shots after being fully vaccinated earlier for convenience purposes.

A 30-year-old single who prefers showing an electronic proof of his vaccination status when visiting karaoke lounges decided to get vvacinatedd: he’s jabbed with the BioNTech vaccine despite having previously received two Moderna shots.

Covid-19 Vaccine

The only hope for the developed countries to prevent their economies from further declining, and for the developing countries to prevent theirs from collapsing, as a result of the pandemic—when vaccination for the population is the solution to economic salvation.

The shortage of Covid-19 vaccines and the poorly constructed vaccine distribution channels in most developing countries only push them to the back of the line in securing billions of shots for their people—when donations via vaccine diplomacy aren’t being helped by poor storage facilities in many developing nations.

Pi Approximation Day

An annual math event that is commemorated on 22nd July (22/7) among billions of people worldwide, who conventionally write their date in the DD/MM/YYYY format, compared to the millions of folks who celebrate Pi Day on March 14 (3/14).

What is the ratio of the number of math students and teachers globally who celebrate Pi Approximation Day in July to the number of those who commemorate Pi Day in March every year.

The Pi Self

When the number π is suffering from imposter syndrome in spite of its perceived or recognized beauty, ubiquity, and utility in many areas of mathematics and science.

Since the start of the pandemic, there have been few new theorems or breakthroughs on the irrational number π, so mathematicians have started to hypothesize whether the pi self phenomenon isn’t finally being manifested.

Maskophobia

The fear of wearing a face mask—when some people become mentally disturbed or paranoid of seeing their and others’ faces covered.

Guesstimate how many people globally suffer from maskophobia, who would find it hard to explain to the authorities why their psychological condition calls for a mask exemption during this pandemic.

Philamask

Stamps that depict different face masks commonly worn by both the medical community and the lay public in various countries to protect themselves and others against the coronavirus.

Philatelists are excited that a number of countries would be issuing philamask commemoratives or first day covers to promote the message why it is mandatory for the public to don a face mask during a pandemic.

Coronaism

An ideology that preaches that evil has descended on Earth through the visitation of a virus to remind its inhabitants to turn away from their sinful, depraved, or unnatural ways, because their failure to do so would only quicken the global apocalypse by a few decades.

From facism to communism to Islamism, is coronaism the new supremacism or terrorism?
