Before we all had to do this lockdown and have this be normal, we had to get used to some new rules to follow. First of all, we had to get used to wearing masks and now we cant go grocery shopping without one. Another thing they implemented was social distancing. We had to stay 6 feet from every other person around in lines to buy something, in classrooms, etc. We were all under lockdown and now we couldn't even go to school in person. We didn't know when we would be able to go places without a face covering and be able to go hang out and just go back to our normal lives. But we wanted this to happen quickly.

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