COVID-19 & The Media's Impact

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

Text Story

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 believe that COVID-19 has been extremely impacted by the media - specifically, social media. There have been numerous occasions where I have witnessed people argue, degrade others, and judge others about something that none of us genuinely know much on. The pandemic has been worrisome to me, but society's reaction has worried me more than anything. The media has been informative as far as preventive measures to lower the risk of spreading the virus, but it has also caused unnecessary stress to a lot of people.

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?
