Covid-𝛾

Read as “Covid-gamma.” Also known as the P.1 or “Gamma” variant. Like the Alpha and Beta variants, the Gamma variant (or the “Bolsonaro virus,” as the Opposition in Brazil call it with reference to their President’s inept handling of the coronavirus crisis), which was first detected in January 2021 and tested in travelers entering Japan, is believed to be more transmissible than Covid-19.

Because Covid-𝛾 shares some mutations with Covid-β (the South African variant), the gamma variant’s effects on immunity and vaccine effectiveness remains a worry for health officials, as confirmed by some collected samples.

Vaccinatee

Someone who has been jabbed or shot by a vaccinator. Also known as a “vaccinated person.”

The Omicron carrier could only be a vaccinatee, because 99.99% of the unvaccinated are barred from traveling.

Covid-𝜊

Read as “Covid-Omicron.” Also known as the B.1.1.529 or “Omicron” variant. WHO’s second “variant of concern” for South Africa—after the Beta variant (B.1.351)—that is thought to be more infectious and transmissible than the Delta variant, and can apparently bypass most of the protection offered by presently approved vaccines.

What are the odds that profit-driven vaccine makers would soon pressure folks who were recently boosted against the Delta variant to go for a fourth shot to protect themselves against the unprovenly deadliest Covid-𝜊?

Trumpémon GO

Pokémon GO à la Trump, where players hunt for digital apparitions of ex-President Donald Trump and some of the notorious morally bankrupt GOP lawmakers, being caught indulging in some unethical or immoral activities at some locations frequently patronized by them, before these Trumpémons are being dealt with by different destructive tools.

Trumpémon GO is pretty additive among tens of thousands of Democrat voters and mainland Chinese students studying in US colleges, with some of them being made penniless after splurging so much on digital currencies to track their favorite Trumpémons.

Covid-🐍

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.

A bump is worth a thousand words.

When a situationally ethical US President broke his promise to make a rogue country a “pariah” over its grim human rights record, by fist-bumping with its de facto ruler, who green-lighted the murder of a dissident journalist.

The choreography of President Biden's interactions with the Saudi crown prince, which exonerates a grisly murder with the victim being dismembered without the rogue mastermind being made accountable, shows that a bump is worth a thousand words.

Hell

A four-letter word that most people would avoid talking about because they live their sinful lives as if mercy has no due date, or that they would have the time to turn away from their unethical or destructive behaviors, or to repent from their sins, at the eleventh hour.

CEOs and dictators, who think that they’re not as evil as the Hitlers, Stalins, and the Osamas, reason that because hell has reached full capacity, their chances of being redirected to heaven are pretty high in spite of their manifold transgressions.
