‘Wear a mask’

A long fence in the NoMa district was covered with these “Wear a mask” signs (what caught our attention was the one with the dog). I’ve heard that Washington, D.C., is the most mask-wearing city in the US, and a July study by The New York Times would seem to support that. In one part of Northeast DC, where we live, there was an 86% chance everyone was wearing a mask in five random encounters, as 97% of the respondents said they “always” or “frequently” wear masks. And in our travels all over the city looking for murals, I can’t remember seeing a single person out on the street without one.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

A fun reminder to protect others.

Good job Washington DC!!!!! I liked the one with the dog too. I tried to get a fun shot of my guys with a mask on. They are usually very tolerant about wearing things but the were not comfortable with that....I won't make them do things they don't like just to get a photo. V

As it should be! I'm tired of the anti-maskers and their whole me-first philosophy. Nice capture. V for the photo and the message.

Wonderful that DC is so good about masks.
Hope all goes well on the 6th. Unbelievable, and disgusting, that Trump is trying to create trouble in the streets.

Colourful posters and good to see such a high rate of mask wearing.
It's not so good here - spotted four people in supermarket without masks today, left as soon as I could.

Good to hear. Mask wearing is better here, but certainly not to that level.

I wonder if Sahraa would look that happy in a mask - good thing to remind people. V
|PS People are pretty good about wearing masks around here too.

It's colorful and cheerful and sounds like the message is getting through.
