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 …

I was going to ask for pictures or news story, but having lived in Europe, I totally believe this. "You need forms to be able to leave, and these unspecified forms can be obtained in person at the local courthouse" would be a way to up this game. https://twitter.com/bertil_hatt/status/1394389935508140033 …

The fact-check is on-brand, too! "That’s mostly right — it was a paddle boarder, not a surfer, out on the water at a beach that was closed to slow the spread of COVID-19." Please get the water device correct, people! https://twitter.com/HJWallEcon/status/1394390583653900289 …pic.twitter.com/DQlOpCBn9S

Also, folks, do note: I was confident that this thread wouldn't turn into tragicomic reflections mostly from poorer countries! Not at all! (If anything, some poorer countries have more robust public health reflexes). The struggle, so to speak, is global.

Switzerland in February 2021 were still recommending home-made fabric masks. Definitely not FFP2 (N95). Neigbouring countries were already required to wear FFP2 on the bus, in public places etc etc.... Swiss still are considered incapable of using FFP2 now May 2021.pic.twitter.com/uBIE2p8NFD

The point here was to discourage high numbers of people travelling unnecessarily long distances merely to walk their dog.
