A math theorem, formula, or method that originates from a particular country—for example, a deductive proof in plane geometry is unmistakably Greek, while a visual proof has a Chinese or Indian flavor.
In this age of regional or international collaboration among members of the mathematics community, when co-authoring a journal article often involves contributors of different nationalities, we can only expect native math to be the odd one in a sea of even hybrids.
The spiritual antidote to being protected from Covid-19—with reference to Psalm 91 in the Bible, which believers faithfully use as an effective prayer of protection against any plague or pestilence that confronts them.
Christians know that Covid-91 is no match to any man-made antibodies or vaccines in protecting them against Covid-19, because whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, and that He is their refuge and their fortress and will save them from any deadly pestilence.
The number of people worldwide who have died not of the coronavirus but accidentally or frighteningly because of the face mask, be it in the incorrect way they handle or wear the mask, which leads to breathing difficulty; or old or weak-hearted folks who were shocked by a masked family member, who wanted to pull a scary prank on them.

Thanks to Covid-👶, Singaporean families could receive up to $35,000 as Baby Support Grant if they planned to add a new member to their family to help arrest the population decline.
When politicians or health authorities exhibit a knee-jerk reaction every time there is an accident or mishap in the vaccination process, because they are afraid that their inaction or perceived ineptitude would incur widespread public condemnation.
Be it someone being accidentally jabbed with three times the stipulated dosage of a vaccine, or a teenager being injected with a shot meant only for adults, vaccine fundamentalism lurks in the minds of health officials, who are answerable for the mistakes of others to pacify an oft-misgiving public.
A fake medical doctor or pseudoscientific folk who argues that anyone wearing a mask in public after being vaccinated or recovered from an infection is mere theater, because there is apparently zero proof that they can spread the coronavirus or be infected, or become re-infected.
For political or public vanity, Maskhole-in-Chief Rand Paul argues that an inoculated person wearing a mask is just for show rather than serves as a protective measure against the deadlier variants of the virus.
