These are some ideas on suggesting that all people in public should wear a face covering of some type. I believe that any mask worn is better than no mask. It protects you from others, and others from you. I also understand that the best mask is a N95 quality which prevents viral transmission, but we are all not health care workers and do not need that level of protection.
Anything worn over your face is better than nothing. As the saying goes:
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
To encourage mask wearing for everybody that goes into a retail store, we could revive a door sticker from the old “hippie” days:
NO SHIRT
NO SHOES
NO MASK
NO SERVICE
Most people I suggest this idea to just laugh with humor, as they remember the “good ol’ days”.
