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 …

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.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

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.

hilariously, that law is still on the books, as is a compulsory masking law for pandemic control. so yes, currently it is technically simultaneously illegal *AND* required to wear a mask in public places here.
