Vancouver's iconic skyline is rendered in silhouette. Various curves showing infection/death rates are in the sky above the building. A beacon with the Rod of Asclepius lights up the sky, summoning help. Wonder Woman leaps powerfully up a ribbon-like curve reading "Flatten the curve." Superman and other Super Heroes battle the virus. On a second panel, a large block of text reads: "We grew up watching Superheroes. Now we watch real Superheroes save our world.....IN OMNIA PARATUS--We are ready for anything. Let's reclaim our city."

On a plywood background is a wheatpasted image of a skeleton dressed in a 1950's style blue polka dot kitchen apron. The skeleton is holding a platter of food with a turkey that is actually a coronavirus, surrounded by vegetables. Above the skeleton is spray painted text which reads "NO THANKS." The artist notes "Doing something different this Thanksgiving isn’t gonna kill you, but NOT doing something different might kill some of your friends and family."

A mixed media mural created in the city of Rochester by community activist and artist Shawn Dunwoody as part of "Protect your Circle," a campaign aimed at spreading information about COVID-19 to communities of color. The piece features bilingual PSA style stencils ("Protect your Circle," "6 Feet Apart or 6 Feet Under," "Stay Home Save Lives"), two skeleton stencils with the Rochester city logo placed at the heart, as well as a pasted up black and white poster urging people to wear mask. The stencils and posters have been reproduced in several Rochester neighborhoods.
