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.

First of all, because of the virus, every country is doing their best to try to contain the contagion, and the flights between countries are limited. So first of all, it is very difficult to get a ticket to get home. Secondely, the photo is I wear the protection suit, with goggles and N95 face masks in order to protect myself and others. But it feels really un comfortable, and it takes total over 35 hour from US to China (I have to transfer at Korea).

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?

#Protectionsuit
#Stay safe

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

I think it is hard to say who create this object since this is a global situation, and many of people have been through this.
