Coronavirus Rules & Procedures

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Text Story

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

Once quarantine began, rules and procedures were rather lightly enforced. Masks were worn here and there and social distancing was overrated. Not many people chose to wear masks as they were not required yet. Everyone was aware of COVID lurking around the country, but not many were concerned until cases began rising in local counties. As this happened, many stores and businesses started requiring masks, social distancing, etc. I wasn't a fan of it at all, like most, but I began appreciating it for safety as months past. Thankfully, there has only been a couple people I know that have tested positive. Fortunately, there also has not been any bad encounters with following rules and procedures in public. I am currently so fed up with all these overwhelming, complex rules and quarantining, but I understand they are enforced for health and safety reasons.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
