      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 …

      -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 …

      Hong Kong: ambush-lockdown-tests! cordon off a neighbourhood & make everyone take a rapid antigen test overnight. principally targeting poor neighbourhoods, w/a track record significantly worse than track&trace at finding any cases:https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1572177-20210125.htm …

      during the peak of it me & @K_krazy_xoxo would ping-pong a poll between each other every time one was announced as to whether it'd find a single positive case. i think only 3 out of like 14 found ANY, & only one more than 1 +ve case.

      also for fun, the implementation features popo RUNNING to cordon off the neighbourhood, b/c that's really going to keep the virus in. or something:https://twitter.com/wanderer_jasnah/status/1354780849728860160 …

          Also I was actually still there when they did the face mask then started arresting people. One of the first victims of was this couple minding their own business near Chater. Those were the times.
