A 2x4 matrix of tweet screenshots. Left column labeled at the top "When there is a highly contagious disease outbreak", right column labeled "When black people protest being murdered by cops". First row, under "disease outbreak", tweet author Sharon quips "I call bullshit! Just trying to scare people to stay inside..." punctuated with a middle finger emoji. Under "murdered by cops", the same Sharon says "They said get in the house. Fkn listen." Description continued below.
