Let's start a thread with pandemic "mitigations" that are as *on brand* for the country while also as pointless as possible. Sri Lanka has a strong entry below. I'll be submitting one right below that. (Warning: gallows humor will likely show up, and may not be for everyone).https://twitter.com/yudhanjaya/status/1394348662558400513 …

My submission from Turkey is a refined one: the lone swimmer was *pulled* from the water to be talked at from a close distance by two police officers, and may well need to go to an indoors court to pay a fine. (Tourists, though, are allowed to swim there).https://twitter.com/indigodergisi/status/1388539306189414403 …

Plajların yabancı turiste serbest, Türklere yasak olması; otellerde kalan hem yabancı hem Türk turistin denize özgürce girebilmesi sosyal medyada tepki çekti!#TamKapanmadanAnladığım pic.twitter.com/YufALz2Pzy3 replies 13 retweets 167 likesShow this thread -
Remember we are looking for *on brand* for the location and pointless, high score on both increases competitiveness. Merely pointless doesn't count as much because that's just too many examples right now.

Replying to @zeynep
Queuing to get into a building to have ones temperature taken by a random number generating forehead thermometer, that isn’t accurate in such circumstances.

That sounds right, but we need pictures.
