This is a photo taken of the hand sanitizer and soap shelf in my local CVS in California.

I remember this day being either right when or right before the quarantine was implemented in my area, and having to run down to CVS to grab something or other. I remember standing in the aisle with my friend, laughing at the paranoia so obviously displayed in the wiped out sanitizer shelf. I had an incorrect feeling that everything would blow over soon.

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