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.

Yeah, my own university had large outbreaks early on last year so we... sent many of the students home.https://twitter.com/nevona/status/1394386328196898819 …

in Germany, no one[citation needed] wanted AstraZeneca because it has a slightly lower protection. So now it's recommended to give the second dose after 4-6 weeks instead of 12, thus reducing the protection *significantly*.

TBH, in Germany everyone who was involved with vaccination information gave AZ a bad reputation. It really sucks. And the fact that the AZ people with the 2nd dose after 4-6 weeks will be "done" just in time for summer vacation doesn't have anything to do with it either.

I just remembered that I spent most of last summer asking "what's the asterisk?" because every new pronouncement had a big title but so many exclusions it barely counted

Has anyone researched how many of these, between STATES, are still (nominally) in effect?
