In the case of 'Zero Covid Zoe' it was obviously a parody account.
However some far left authoritarians who advocate restrictions, lockdowns etc are so utterly bonkers it's almost impossible to determine which views are genuine and which are parody. Sometimes the only way to know an account is parody is due to something about the account, such as the name of the account, or the pattern of tweets, that gives it away. Looking at an individual tweet often isn't enough to have any idea if it's a real opinion or not.
For example this individual
might be a parody account but it I think it actually could be real:
4/ sinophobia. The writer claims China's approach is unrealistic yet can't offer an exit strategy to their let it rip approach. The writer isn't from China but speaks with authority on their health policies.
Looking at their other tweets, and given there is nothing obviously fake about their account, I think they genuinely believe the nonsense they are saying.
Covidians are so utterly bonkers it becomes almost impossible for someone parodying a Covidian to exaggerate; almost any form of exaggerated post could actually be real, as there seems to be no limits to how bonkers some Covidians are!
News just in today (15/11):
Anger boils over in the industrial city of Guangzhou, exposing cracks in Xi Jinping's signature policy.

Crowds of residents in southern China's industrial metropolis Guangzhou have escaped a compulsory lockdown and clashed with police, as anger at strict coronavirus curbs boiled over.
Dramatic footage shows some overturning a police vehicle and tearing down Covid control barriers. Riot teams have now been deployed in the area.
It follows Guangzhou's worst Covid outbreak since the pandemic began.
Amid bad economic figures, China's zero Covid policy is under enormous strain.
While China cannot admit they were wrong, I expect they will slowly change their stance and accept it is absolutely inevitable that SARS-CoV-2 will become the 5th endemic human coronavirus
