It was a cool, breezy Sunday afternoon. it was the third of April when the world had just started warming up to this infectious Covid disease. The memers were calling it the 'Rona. I was flipping through the tv stations and I came across the FoxNews channel. it turns out all this chaos and coughing came from Wuhan, China. Word is it was some guy eating a bat, contracting the disease from it. At first I thought "How stupid do you have to be to eat a bat"?
I then realized I shouldn't be questioning the intelligence of others when I myself didnt think of pressing the "submit" button after turning in an essay.

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

Luca Piconi
