Freedom Day, masks and long Covid – 14 favourite takes on the pandemic
At the time of writing, today is the effective end of Covid-19 regulations in England, to be followed fairly soon by the rest of the UK.
If you test positive for the coronavirus, you will no longer be legally obliged to self-isolate – though the advice to do so continues for a few more weeks.
Despite that, most people are aware that the pandemic isn’t over, and these tweets show what they think about that.

Any new zombie movies that want to be believable need to include random people who walk directly up to zombies & get bitten on purpose because they think getting bitten will help them build immunity against being bitten. They also need to mock people trying to avoid being bitten.

Disappointing to read that 'Freedom Day' in the UK will not apply to surgeons who will still be required to wash their hands and wear masks. It's time patients learned to live with postoperative infections.

The RN who does my Botox just told me she knows a doctor who will prescribe ivermectin if anyone I know gets covid. I’m glad she’s so good at her job and couldn’t see my reaction

I don’t understand why masks aren’t popular. You don’t have to wear makeup, you can pretend to be a ninja, if you don’t feel like going to something you can send a lookalike in your place.. what’s not to love

I hear Carrie Johnson is very much hoping she doesn’t catch Covid. She has poor enough taste as it is.

COVID Season 3 is getting really lazy with the writing. Throwing in storms, wars and teasing the deaths of long running characters are clearly just the writers baiting the audience with Twitter headlines whilst the producers have lost control of the main storyline.
