The High Price of food during the coronavirus lockdown in China
What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?
text story. I originally learned it from some radio programs, then I found this article from New York Times.

The virus crisis is testing China’s ability to feed its 1.4 billion people, one of the Communist Party’s proudest achievements. Cooped up at home and fearful that the epidemic could last weeks or even months, families across China are hoarding provisions, making it harder for shops and supermarkets to keep fresh food in stock. Many places have closed off roads to passing traffic, slowing truck shipments and raising freight costs.
