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

text story

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.

I was watching the news and in the broadcast, I first learned the cause of the virus. The cause was from bats. I thought this was a little odd since I thought only insects could spread a virus. My opinions/knowledge has changed since I learned that any animal could spread a virus. Now that I know the true cause of the virus, I am more informed and I can tell people who are uneducated on the cause of the virus, the real cause of it.

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?
