The object in this picture is a mask and I bought it online.

I think that the mask represents the pandemic perfectly because it has become something I use everyday just like my phone or car. This masks shows that the pandemic is a serious issue happening it our world and wearing a mask can minimize the spread of it.

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?

Masks have always been around for people to wear in hospitals or surgeons, but now people are wearing them in order to stop the spread of COVID-19. It is important to me because when I wear it and see other people wearing it in public I feel safe. It it something I count on.
