Eggcentricity VII Plus a Covidictionary

“Arma coVirumque cano...”

     Opening words of Vergil’s Aeneid reimagined
during current crisis as Xi's Covineid (cf entry for 
'Chinese virus'). Roughly translated from original 
Latin, the line reads: “I sing of nukes ‘n’ viruses.” 
Resemblance of words to language often employed 
by current US President has not gone unremarked.

Covation

     Applause of approval breaking out (cf entry for 
'outbreak') amongst citizens of The Big Apple honoring 
NYC's first responders -- and frequently during each of 
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s virus-update 
briefings.

Cover Girl
     (Cf entry for 'Dr. Deborah Birx.')

cOvid

     Latin poet coming into his own during 
crisis as self-quarantined individuals turn to 
his Metaphorphoses and its 12,000,000,000 lines 
(that's billion with a B!) as go-to reading option 
when iPad Pros go on fritz.  

Cov’id’ and cov’ego’
     Two agents operating within human psychic 
apparatus -- id characterized as disorganized, 
impulsive and instinctual drive (e.g., current US 
President) and ego as rational, mitigating 
principle (e.g., Governor Cuomo).  
     

Covideo
     Inferior-quality televised reports -- using phone 
cameras and FaceTime -- from doctors and nurses 
working double shifts in hospitals carried all day 
every day by network news broadcasts.

Covidfefe
     Repeatedly chanting this single-word mantra 
while sporting MAGA hat and kneeling before icon 
of US President effectively prevents chanter from 
contracting virus causing COVID-19.

CovIdi Amin

     As buffoon, murderer, psycho, obese lover of 
media attention and despotic head of state, this early 
promulgator of plagues of a cultural variety anticipates 
certain approval-seeking and self-serving behaviors of 
current US president on display daily during ongoing 
crisis (cf 'cov'id.'')

Covidiocy
     (Cf POTUS's daily Covid-19 Rose Garden briefing.)

Covidiot
     (Cf entry for 'covidiocy.')

CoVido Musso
     Born in Palermo, Sicily (cf entry for La Dolce CoVita)

out-of-the-frying-pan-into-the-fire, COVID-wise) this reed 
player performed with host of greats, thereby spreading 
coronavirus throughout jazz world.

Covim and covigor
     Characterization of mental and physical energies severely
dampened by exposure to coronavirus. Antonyms are covapidity
and covicissitude.

Covirony
     Spirit in which current President's remarks about pandemic
must be taken by citizens hoping to keep grasp on reality.
