Collected Item: “the beginning of the virus”

Give your story a title.

the beginning of the virus

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 think the virus was not artificially crafted, but came out of nowhere. It is a respiratory disease that came out of nowhere. The cause of this virus spreading is the ignorance of people. The virus is scientifically and literally dangerous. But the ignorance and arrogance of people choosing not to wear masks and having large gatherings adds to this dangerous occurance.

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?
