Masks
Richard Travsky spotted the famous T-Rex statue at the University of Wyoming in Laramie sporting a cloth mask - with Steamboat patterned fabric, of course!
The mask was given to patients at the Cheyenne Children's Clinic (CCC) at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. You could not enter the building without a mask and had to stop and have your temperature checked and answer if you had any symptoms of COVID-19 or had traveled anywhere with COVID-19.

This ear saver was made by a paintball company in Aurora, Colorado called Mile High Paintball. It was made with a 3D printer.
The ear saver holds the straps of a face mask off the back of the ears relieving pressure and discomfort on the ears.
Wyoming received approximately 50,000 protective face masks from the Taiwanese government to help protect frontline workers against the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020. The shipment provided the state with a much-needed influx of personal protective equipment (PPE) as federal officials had largely left states to procure their own supplies.
