Objects, signs, rules, or behaviours created during Covid that are still hanging about years later, long after everyone mentally clocked out of the pandemic.
Usually found in workplaces, GP surgeries, shops, or at the back of someone’s
brain.
Common examples include:
“Keep 2m distance” floor stickers that everyone
now stands on
Faded “How to wash your hands for 20 seconds” posters (with diagrams like it’s rocket
science)
Perspex screens protecting absolutely no one
Hand sanitiser stations containing liquid that smells like regret
Signs saying “Masks must be worn” while nobody is wearing one
A workplace notice board still hosting a
faded A4 paper of “new Covid rules”, long dead but not yet buried
"I knew the place was badly run when the reception desk
still had a Covid relic telling me to keep my
distance from a woman coughing directly into my
soul.”
