Statistics and Thoughts

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 find that many people are comparing California to other states and freaking out because California has the most cases and deaths, but that is to be expected. People don't take into account the fact that California has the largest population out of all the other states. Recently, there has been a large spike, but that is because of the fact that it is winter. It is colder, so people are gathering inside more, and the sun isn't as direct, so COVID-19 is spreading more. But when spring comes, the spike will go down. In fact, the spike is already beginning to drop, and once next winter comes around, people will have been vaccinated and more people will have gotten it, and things will hopefully get better and restrictions will go away.

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?
