Rules in a Pandemic

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

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.

During the pandemic, there are rules that people are required to follow in California. Some of these rules are incredibly stupid, and some actually make sense. There was a rule for Thanksgiving that you were not allowed to sing. There was also a rule that you could have less people in a party or holiday than a funeral. These rules I find to be incredibly ridiculous, however I do think some rules are noteworthy as being fair to a pandemic, such as social distancing or washing your hands.

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?
