-bows- Sri Lanka, where we fight the virus with -checks notes- bad masks, underpowered Indian motorcycles, and assault rifles. This is what happens when you worship the military: when all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail.https://twitter.com/SriLankaTweet/status/1393578935376515077 …

I submit an entry from Turkey. (Also, he is fined because he is not a tourist—tourists are allowed to swim, but locals are pulled from the water to be fined).https://twitter.com/indigodergisi/status/1388539306189414403 …

Ah yes! We're on the same page here. Tourists can travel, but Sri Lankans are under Schrodinger's lockdown and will be hauled up.https://twitter.com/AthaudaDasuni/status/1393871486901882883 …

But note our advanced position: the lone swimmer was *pulled* from the water to be talked at from a close distance by two police officers, and may need to go to an indoors court to pay his fine.pic.twitter.com/n5lSD6wscm

I doubt we're competent enough to organize even a conference right now, but there's definitely a book or two in here, that's for sure.

I dunno, "Ten most absurd pandemic practices you're missing out on" could have a viable financial model, getting contracts from various governments? They seem to be in a race of sorts here, and might feel like spending some money to make sure they remain competitive.
