COVID-19: PSA for residents of Washington: masks required

[mdlbear]

On the remote chance that anyone reading this and living in the state of Washington hasn't noticed: Effective June 26, a statewide order requires individuals to wear a face covering in indoor public spaces such as stores, offices and restaurants. The order also requires face coverings outdoors when you can't stay 6 feet apart from others. There are other links there, including step-by-step instructions from the Hearing, Speech & Deaf Center for making a mask with a window so that people who are deaf or hard of hearing can read your lips.

Here's an article in the Seattle Times: Gov. Inslee orders masks to be worn in public to help stem spread of coronavirus.

Here's Mary Robinette Kowal's no-pattern, one-piece mask: MRK's no-pattern Simple Mask tutorial | Mary Robinette Kowal on Patreon. It only requires a few straight seams, which makes it simple enough for even a clumsy bear to make if they had to. (I don't, fortunately.)
