My Coronavirus Letter

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

It's a text

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.

This is a letter I wrote to future people about my experiences and the current events at the time on March 16th, 2020. I was 17 at the time and I have always been interested in history so I wanted to document what I was seeing in the world for future generations. I believe my letter shows the uncertainty and anxiety surrounding the beginning of Covid 19.

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?

#Oklahoma, #history, #uncertainty, #timecapsule
