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

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.

The reason why I submitted this paper was to show the similarities between both the Spanish Flu and the current Covid-19 pandemic that we are going through. As philosopher George Santayana would say, "Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It."

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