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:
There's nothing scarier than having a conversation with someone who doesn't have a mask on. Don't scare others. #MaskUpDC pic.twitter.com/QHossI1VYb

If that maskless person is a complete psychopath maybe Bowser’s onto something. Otherwise, she might have missed the mark with that attempt to use fear to get people to fall in line:

They really need you living in fear. Biggest power trip in politics of my lifetime. https://t.co/yU5JZsjR3y

If this is the scariest thing in your life, you have been coddled too much. https://t.co/kPg80iDhr9

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”:
