In another plea to lower coronavirus cases in Colorado, Governor Polis decided to use visual aids.

In a post on his Facebook page this morning. Governor Polis shared an 8-second video from PBS that shows the difference a mask makes. When someone coughs without a mask on, their germs travel a farther distance— which, you know, should be obvious, but sometimes you have to see it to believe it.

2. Wear a mask.
