Ok shot but I don't get the sense of shortage here.

As a color version (with more depth and detail retained) it would make for a great stock image but for this challenge it doesn't really fit, IMO. This is not the type of photo that I could see any paper using with a story like that. You almost have to show people in the shot such as a crowd of people (as to indicate the risk) or a lab technician shown in a real world environment.

Not sure that a newspaper would go through the trouble of doing a stock photo like shot when they could likely photograph a Walgreens sign instead.
