"When entering any Northern Light Medical facility, particularly to get a COVID-19 vaccine or booster shot, patients are asked to replace their personal masks with PPE provided by the hospital. Unlike the blue or yellow disposable masks, these masks are a heavier mil or thickness of material, have softer ear loops, and are generally better constructed. As a result, though they are intended to be a one-time use item, I've found myself saving them. I hang them on the cellphone holder/charger in my car and use them as emergency backups in case my husband or I forget our masks or if I accidentally drop my mask so it gets wet or dirty." --Kimberly Sawtelle Photo. Bangor, Maine. 2021-11-06.

COVID-19 Images_Mask Selfie
April 2020, Kimberly Sawtelle selfie in the parking lot of Hannaford on Broadway in Bangor, Maine. As news of COVID-19 reaching the U.S. shut down schools, universities, and non-essential businesses nationwide, guidelines for personal protective gear were lacking. As a result, those who sought to observe CDC advice to wear face coverings used what was on-hand and readily available.

March 28, 2020, Kimberly Sawtelle selfie in the parking lot of Hannaford on Broadway in Bangor, Maine "having scored a container of disinfecting wipes! On March 25, 2020, Governor Janet Mills issued the mandate that "all large, essential, public-facing businesses to immediately employ strategies to reduce congestion in their stores, including limiting the number of customers in the store at any one time." As part of this strategy, it was advised that only one person per household engage in essential, in-person shopping. By this time, two weeks into the active pandemic, store shelves were bare of many essential items. I kept this container of disinfecting wipes in the car and used them to wipe down ATM keyboards and touch screens and gas pump handles prior to handling. This, of course, was long before it was understood how COVID-19 was transmitted. Without guidance on face coverings, we made do with what was handy, in this case, a dust mask that was later advised against because it was "vented.""

March 28, 2020, 6:45 a.m. "Waiting in line for Hannaford on Broadway in Bangor, Maine to open. This was the first Saturday following Governor Janet Mills issuing the mandate that "all large, essential, public-facing businesses to immediately employ strategies to reduce congestion in their stores, including limiting the number of customers in the store at any one time." While there were recommendations that only one person per household undertake essential shopping, a number of couples waiting in line before the store opened. At the time of this photo, Hannaford on Broadway had a limit of 50 customers in the store at any time. An employee stood outside the door, controlling traffic and using a smartphone as a counter to keep track. Inside the entry vestibule, store staff sanitized the handles of shopping carts. I remember feeling that tension this day was very high as people glanced suspiciously at each other. While most shelves were bare of canned goods, cleaning supplies, and paper goods (toilet paper, tissues, paper towels), fresh meat, vegetables, and most dairy goods were available."
