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.

In the beginning of this Covid-19 situation I was very scared and nervous about this pandemic. I didn't really know much about it but all I knew was that it came from China and maybe an animal. Whatever caused this virus must have been something with lost of bacteria because so many people have died and gotten sick from it. Now I think it might have been like a bat or even just a virus from another country that later spread and got way worse. I feel that if we were to not have this situation happen in our life we wouldn't have learned all the many things humans have learned from it. Everything happens for a reason and having masks helps with other viruses other then Covid but this virus has been crazy for so long.
