Collected Item: “Communication”

Give your story a title.

Communication

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

Instagram

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.

One of the things many of us may not realize is that there are a lot of hearing impaired individuals out there who have difficulty reading lips due mask wearing. It’s important that everyone be patient with others and realize that some people may be unable to understand you.

Maintaining a safe distance while pulling your mask down might be necessary for effective communication.
