Lockdown laughs – 10 more things we’ve learnt about the pandemic
If you had “Leicester sent back into full lockdown” on your coronavirus bingo sheet – cross that bad boy off, because their spike is worse than your spike.
Elsewhere, people are gearing up for the pubs opening, because it takes a lot of prep to sit at home judging people from a distance.
To help you get into the right mindset, here’s some pandemic humour for you.
1. Not every country of the UK decided to try meaningless posturing as a coronavirus prevention strategy

2. Leicester’s having a hard time in more ways than one
Leicester is in local lockdown. Bit like the football team since the restart.

3. We’ve learnt quite a bit about human nature – not all of it good
Any zombie movie that doesn't have hordes of people running towards the zombies to deliberately get bitten because they're convinced it's a liberal hoax is going to look pretty unrealistic now.

4. The English approach would be more at home in a travelling fairground than in parliament
Really can’t think of anything worse sounding than a “whack a mole” approach.
What have you gone for, South Korea?Test track and trace? Nice. We’ve gone for the flail our arms around a lot and hope that manage to twat it.

6. Pandemic fatigue is making some people pretty grumpy
Early days of lockdown were a real high (for me) on Twitter. Everyone trying their best to get through and plenty of kindness. But by Christ we’ve all reached the end of our tether now haven’t we? My timeline’s like an unhappy family trapped in a caravan in Skegness in a monsoon.

7. If the man who thought up the safety measures can do it, so can everyone else. Right?

9. The open pubs aren’t as tempting as some may think
Not going out this weekend because the bars won’t be serving the measures I’ve gotten accustomed to
