Collected Item: “Who wants to be a quarantin-a-aire?”

Give your story a title.

Who wants to be a quarantin-a-aire?

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

Meme

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.

There was a show on TV called Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? It was a quiz show with relatively easy questions. This meme mimics the show and asks what the scariest part of 2020 is. The choices are murder hornets, Covid-19, toilet paper, or Carole Baskin, who ran an "big cat" animal sanctuary and had a reality show play during the beginning of the quarantine.
You can see that the constant is having trouble deciding.

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?
