The COVID-19 source page

Here are some information sources about COVID-19. Some are scanned, although not OCRd yet. Other documents I found online. I've tried to put the documents in chronological order so things can be put into perspective. Below the documents are some parodies of the COVID-19 warning adverts/posters etc.

COVID info parodies

During the COVID lockdowns, I parodied some of the warning posters that appeared on the internet. I've uploaded a few of the better ones here. As this sub heading suggests, these are parodies and should not be taken at all seriously. The official posters were initially fairly basic, but their complexity evolved as time went on. Some of the parodies demonstrate a severe lack of editing skill, but my goal was to create something as quickly as possible and post it in real-time. This way, my hopefully obvious parody would appear to the selected audience (a few close contacts) alongside the real one, which I hoped would enhance the comedy effect. These might eventually be moved to a dedicated directory, but for the time being I'll post them here. First, here is an easy-read intro to what Covid-19 is not about.

Keeping apart keeps us safe. This parody relates to the concept of domestic violence against Men™, which happens.
