Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is encouraging people in her city to wear masks wherever they go. She’s even reminding residents of the sheer horror that could await if not everybody masks up before going out:

If you ask us, the list of things that are scarier is quite lengthy.
I guess having a gun put in your face on a DC street is so commonplace now, it's not scary anymore. https://t.co/DjBfS0UpHN

Trying to pay expenses when you lose your job because the government shuts down businesses is scarier. https://t.co/YstQX65aJH

Bowser gave herself (and her staff) a waiver from the city’s coronavirus regs because this was considered “essential travel”:
