Empty New York City

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

It is an empty subway during rush hour because of pandamic. I filmed it while I was going to the restaurant to make food for frontline workers.

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.

I think how this pandemic has managed to empty even the most crowded city in the states, and how we were all nervous about what future holds is something no one has ever experienced. Everyone will remember how the world stopped in 2020.

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
