Covid 26: The Pandemic Glossary

An A to Z Glossary of the most glossed over terms of COVID-19, to raise awareness of the social issues that are really affecting British society.

Laiqa Miriam designs a new A to Z glossary of Covid-19 terms during her time at The Unmistakables, which looks beyond some of the most popular social media trends and aims to raise awareness of the social issues that are really affecting British society.


The Covid-26: An A to Z glossary of the most glossed over terms of Covid-19 encourages people to:


  • Look beyond banana bread and consider the disproportionate impact the crisis is having on BAME communities

  • Take a breather from PE with Joe and inhale the news that nearly half of England’s doctors are being forced to find their own PPE

  • Stop shaking their 'quarantinis' and stir over the domestic abuse faced by some members of the LGBTQ community stuck in queerantine with perpetrators


While some of us have baked, memed and Zoomed our way through self-isolation, many marginalised members of society have faced far more serious issues, often disproportionately impacting their physical and mental health. We created this list to help burst people out of the ‘banana bread bubbles’ that are created by social media algorithms and that often make people miss the things that really matter.
