Was it caused by COVID-19?

The question asked, whether or not aloud, when a death is announced these days, as if few people died in the community or country in pre-pandemic days.

If the answer to “Was it caused by COVID-19?” is rumored or suspected to be positive, fewer relatives and friends are prone to attending a funeral wake.

The Shelf Life of a Corona Vaccine

When people around the world are questioning whether pharmaceutical companies are dead serious in producing a vaccine that could cure humankind of Covid-19, or whether their moneymaking agenda is to ensure that people move from a pandemic to an endemic situation, whereby they would need to be jabbed more expensively every year to protect themselves against allegedly deadlier variants of the virus.

If vaccine manufacturers’ motives were to enrich themselves and their shareholders, inquiring about the shelf life of a corona vaccine would be like asking them an uncomfortable or taboo question, which is likely to yield a vague or unhelpful answer.

The Cost of the Coronavirus

When Covid-19 has a hidden price attached to it: those living alone or in nursing homes; those disregarding public health measures to protect themselves and others; and those losing their loved ones prematurely or their jobs suddenly.

Be it opportunist corrupt or inept politicians lying to the public to remain in power, selfish customers hoarding essential items, or covidiots refusing to wear a mask or practicing social distancing, they all have to pay for their actions (and inactions)—the cost of the coronavirus is just a breath, lie, or inconvenience away.

Practice Safe Six

Short for “Thou shalt be at least two meters away from each other in public” to minimize the odds of being infected with the coronavirus.

With tens of thousands of diehard Trumpists and hardcore QAnonists in a number of red states selfishly refusing to wear a mask and to practice safe six, is it any surprise that the country has the world’s highest number of corona fatalities and infections?

It is better to receive than to give.

A commandment with regard to our relationship to God, compared to our relationship to people, where it is better to give than to receive—when Jesus, the "bread of life" and the “living water,” wants us to partake of Him and receive from Him all that we lack in this world.

Jesus told his disciples that it is more blessed to give than to receive in relating to others, and when it comes to meeting their physical and spiritual needs, He wants them to know that as their Provider, Deliverer, and Healer, it is better to receive than to give.

Zoombie

Someone who spends most of their waking hours on Zoom: meetings with bosses, colleagues, subordinates, friends, children and parents, church members, and third parties.

Since the lockdowns, mental hospitals worldwide have raised the alarm to the authorities that hundreds of zoombies came in with severe forms of antisocial or evil behaviors, with a number of them entertaining suicidal thoughts to stop their demonic torments.

Mask the Math

When rogue, inept, or corrupt opportunistic politicians downplay the high number of infections and fatalities plaguing their countries, by giving an oft-innumerate or gullible public a faux sense of security, who often loosely follow the health measures in place.

Fake right-wing “leaders” from the United States, Brazil, and India notoriously share a number of common denominators: use race or religion as a trump card, mask the math, and refuse to make social distancing or mask wearing mandatory.
