The picture was published by The Guardian, and the photographer is Christophe Petit-Tesson. The description of the photo is a nurse wearing protective gear at a newly-converted resuscitation intensive care department for coronavirus patients in Neuilly-sur-Seine, near Paris. This picture to me because it sends a very strong message. It represents the doctors and nurses fighting in the front lines helping patients recover from COVID-19. The photo shows how dangerous the situation is by the protective gear the nurse is wearing. I feel like the mask is a staple of 2020 so far.

This is a photo I took of my home town in Olympia, Washington. I took them during the midday. During this time, the state recommended for people to stay in their home but was not a complete lockdown. The only things open are grocery stores, pharmacies, and banks. This park is called Capital lake; it’s right next to the capitol building of Washington and downtown. I think this picture represents the situation pretty well in my hometown, showing the emptiness of the park. Typically the park is filled with people walking, running, and walking with their pets.
