Banner hung in front of the Z-Burger restaurant on Wisconsin Avenue NW in Washington, DC, declaring the establishment to be a "COVID free zone". Apparently, based on the branding of the device depicted on the right side of the banner, this is an advertisement for Serenio, the company that manufactured the pictured device, which claims on their website that their product "instantly neutralizes coronaviruses".
I suppose that the real test of what people really think about this device would be to go in and see if any of the staff were wearing masks. If anyone was, that would have been a major non-endorsement of the product.
I didn't go in and check, though, due to scheduling concerns. In any event, when I went by the location about a week later, the banner had been removed.
