Collected Item: “Can We Take Showers Yet?”

Give your story a title.

Can We Take Showers Yet?

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

Humorous 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.

During the Corona Time, everywhere you looked showed you how to wash your hands and warned you to do so. Talk show hosts demonstrated the methods, ads on TV urged us to wash our hands every time we touched anything, and people made song parodies about hand-washing.
So the joke here is that were we only allowed to wash our hands, not the rest of our bodies? No one told us to shower!

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?
