  Together But Apart

  This west Wichita sign reflects the coronavirus paradox that has been thrust upon communities across the world since the pandemic's outbreak, as people supposedly face this crisis together, but must maintain physical separation to do so. Also highlighted is the "6 feet rule" that has become an omnipresent feature in most or all public spaces, as social distancing became one of the most effective ways to limit the virus's community transmission.

  A Great Sacrifice

  This west Wichita, Kansas, church marquee sign reflects the state-mandated social distancing restrictions that went into effect on March 30, 2020; restrictions that prohibited large social gatherings, shuttered K-12 schools for the remainder of the spring, required 6-feet of space between individuals in public, and closed all non-essential businesses, such as retail stores and gyms.
