Reopening too Soon

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

Meme

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.

In many states, the government seemingly ended mask mandates and opened back up in one day. Washington State lifted mask mandates and reopened everything at 100% only to reinstate mask mandates and reduce compacity a few weeks later. This has lead to the meme of everything is on fire but let's just reopen anyways.

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?

#meme, #dog, #fire, #reopen, #government, #maskmadates, #lifted, #toosoon, #nervous, #hurried, #facebook, #twitter
