A “very dangerous” hybrid of the two highly transmissible Indian and UK Covid-19 strains, whose infectivity, transmissivity, and lethality levels have yet to be unveiled by Vietnam's health ministry.
Arrange the following corona mutants in ascending order in terms of their deadliness: Indian variant, South African variant, UK variant, Vietnamese variant.

Get the Vietnamese Variant mug.When some corona variants see themselves more powerful or attention-grabbing than others, because of their higher rate of infection, transmission, or destruction.
Just when the UK and Indian Covid-19 strains thought they were the most dangerous viruses plaguing the world, the Vietnamese or North Korean variant could outwit them both, thus showing that the viral inequality between present variants and new hybrids is getting wider over time.

Get the Viral Inequality mug.WHO's yet-to-be-approved 16th letter of the Greek alphabet as a politically correct label for the politically charged “Trumpvirus”—named after Trum-pi-sm—to avoid stigmatizing any right-wing inept head of state who failed to prevent millions of infections and thousands of deaths.
Diehard Trumpists and hardcore QAnonists have complained to the World Health Organization that Democrat lawmakers’ and US-unfriendly nations’ use of “Trumpvirus” is discriminatory or demeaning, so they suggested rechristening it to “Pi,” and proposed “Tau” for its twice deadly variant (B.6.28).

Get the Pi mug.When Dictator Kim’s rogue scientists are covertly working on a few hybrids of presently known corona variants with the aim of releasing them into unfriendly nations that want to end his three-generation dynasty, or that refuse to remove any trade sanctions against the recluse kingdom.
What are the odds that the detection of the deadliest North Korean variant on US shores and those of its allies could lead to the flattening of Pyongyang?

Get the Coke Bottle mug.The mathematical equivalent of thinking like a child, who uniquely looks at the world imaginatively, playfully, or creatively, much to the delight of others who might even experience an aha! moment from their spontaneous response or behavior.
If mathematical constants like e and 𝛷 were to think like pi, by consciously or freely promoting themselves regularly, there is no reason that they couldn’t be as popular and interesting as the beloved π.

Get the Think like Pi mug.When digital pirates from notorious copyright-violating countries like India, Pakistan, and Nigeria are blatantly sharing Singapore math e-books, students’ and teachers’ resources, and textbook solutions; or are selling them at a fraction of their actual prices.
To tens of thousands of students and teachers in the developing world, the Napsterization of Singapore math looks more like the democratization rather than the illegal dissemination of Singapore math materials to help raise their quantitative literacy at zero costs or for the price of a few megabytes.
