I heard about a project called PPE Portraits, where medical professionals interacting with patients during the Ebola epidemic, and now during Covid 19, wear pictures of themselves smiling, since patients can't see their faces when they are wearing masks.  Studies, not surprisingly, have shown better outcomes for patients whose doctors and nurses wear these portraits. Here are links to info about that project https://med.stanford.edu/pcph/research/ppe-project.html

I thought it might cheer me up and possibly others, if I wore a photo like that when I'm wearing a mask.  So I have made myself a PPE Portrait and have worn it out once so far, to Weaver Street.  People smiled, laughed and waved at me, so I will be wearing it more I'm sure!  I plan on laminating one of them, so I can just wash it when I get home.  I did buy some sticky label paper, since that is what the PPE medical people use, so they'll have a disposable portrait.  But the sheets I bought were nearly impossible to separate from the sticky side. So I just pinned mine on!   Here's a picture of me wearing my PPE portrait to go to town.  Love, Kathleen

P.S. The portrait does show up a little better
in person than it does in this picture.
