Masks, jabs and lockdown – 13 favourite pandemic posts
With so much focus on Tory sleaze, you could be forgiven for thinking that the Covid pandemic has ended – an impression you might also get from counting masks on the government side of the House of Commons.
But it hasn’t – and funny tweeters are still talking about it. Here are a few favourite tweets on the topic.

Seriously. On an antivaxxer forum, I saw a frequent poster refer to herself and her fellow antivaxxers as “a dying breed.”

Boris Johnson visited the Sunlit Uplands care home in Brexit-on-Sea today. He refused to wear a mask so Old Morag ambushed him in the corridor and forced a pair of her incontinence pants over his head.

Love that I've still got people popping up to tell me "our numbers are only worse because we test more" and "foreigners don't count properly or make their numbers up" days after we found out that we spent 6 weeks wrongly telling everyone in the West Country they were fine… pic.twitter.com/GULpljWsXv
