This interpretation of the Welsh Covid news hilariously tells it like it is
Wales is currently having a circuit-breaker lockdown – or a “fire-break”, as they’re more reasonably describing it.
Only essential shops remain open, which means people can still buy food and medication, but supermarkets have been ordered to prevent people buying “non-essential” items …which is open to interpretation.
Wales have truly taken this second lockdown too far. Blocking off & sealing up “non essential” items in all stores so all we can buy is food. We can’t read, we can’t write, we can’t buy clothes, no birthday cards.. nothing 😳 pic.twitter.com/fcJdX8e6G0

For a short period – pun intended – sanitary products appeared to be included in the ban.
@Tesco can you explain why I was told today that I can’t buy PERIOD PADS as I’m sure they are essential to women ?!!! But I can buy alcohol it doesn’t make sense 🤦🏽♀️

While the shop later explained that the area had been cordoned off after a break-in, Tesco’s Twitter account responded to Katie with this now-deleted tweet:
Comedian Jason Byrne shared this video of the news about the Welsh lockdown, but he added his own hilarious – but mildly NSFW – voiceover.
@thejasonbyrne Breaking News. Wales warned of dangerous goods in shops that may contain COVID_19 @vaughangethingms @skynews @borisjohnsonuk @walesonline @rtenews
He also shared it on Twitter, where it picked up these reactions.
Very good man.😷😷😷😷

And – because we can – here’s Jason’s take on the excuses people gave for breaking lockdown. Relatable no matter which country you’re in.
