Noah Norman's Covid-19

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

I added the Netflix logo because while I had Corona I didn't do much other than watch Netflix with my siblings.

Once online school was over, my family (and my grandparents) all took a trip to Florida. While we were there many attractions were closed, but some were still open. Those that were open we went to but we were told to wear masks. After our week or so in Florida we stayed home for the most part and followed the CDC guidelines. After awhile and maybe a month before school my sister, who worked at Mazzios, tested positive for Covid-19. Days later I also had the same symptoms (which all felt like a bad cold). My brother and dad both had a very mild case with just a headache. My mom had id worse than them but better than my sister and I. A good two week quarantine later it was normal life going to church and school and what-not (with masks of course).

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