After over 100 days since the initial quarantine orders were created in the US, myself and others are going a bit stir crazy having been stuck inside. Summer, which is usually a time for vacation and travel, seems to have transformed into a staycation at home.
This item was added TAGS v6.1.9.1. I originally searched under the hashtag #thisyearmysummervacation. Within that search, I have chosen to add the following tweet because it showcases some of the humour that individuals are using to make light of the quarantine situation.

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?

#HST, #485, #ASU, #coronavirus, #stay, #home, #quédate, #en, #casa
