Making the Best of Covid-19

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

This is a newspaper article and picture from the Washington post. I got it from my grandparents after telling them about the assignment.

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.

A group of friends bought kiddie pools to enjoy the summer after their community pool did not open due to coronavirus. I think this article shows how even though the pandemic has had negative affects, people can still enjoy the summer while staying safe.

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?

#safe, #summer, #positive

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