People are growing exasperated with the mercurial nature of the safety guidelines that are being provided by both state and local governments. Combined with a reopening plan that is different in every state, the average citizen is frustrated about what they can, and can not do. What will be safe, and what won't be safe moving forward? When should we wear masks and when do we not need to?

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?
