On Sunday, Climate Change Minister Zartaj Gul purported that Covid-19 means that the coronavirus has 19 points that can be applied to any country based on its respective immunity levels.

Although by now, everyone knows that Covid-19 is an acronym for the coronavirus disease 2019, it seems that Gul had no idea what she was getting herself into.
Since she redefined the term on national television, Pakistani social media users have been busy redefining everything on Twitter.
Providing a fresh perspective to age-old words, users have come up with new and hilarious definitions for F-16, bypass, T20, MiG-21, and N95 among others.
Here are some we loved most:

The “21” in MiG-21 means it flies only 21 seconds across border. #zartajgulwazir #coronavirus #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/0sFNc1Kbo7

Some even compiled a video of the memes and it all makes sense now.
