As spring weather arrives, the desire to be out among other people will likely grow
On a recent sunny afternoon in Denver, there was a breeze blowing through Washington Park. A lot of folks were out, enjoying the weather. Amy Brustkern watched her three kids fly around a basketball court on small electric cars called Crazy Carts.
Asked if now, at the end of Year One, pandemic fatigue is a real thing, Brustkern was quick to answer.
“Oh, big time. Absolutely,” she said, adding it is especially tough on the kids. “Just getting them out and doing more things (is key), because if they can t go to school full time, or if they don t have all their activities, you really have to find ways to enhance what they re doing.”
The right engine on a United Airlines plane failed just moments after takeoff last month, forcing the Hawaii-bound flight to make an emergency landing in Denver.

Two passengers who flew in and out of Denver International Airport in recent days my daughter Ellie Roberts and future son-in-law Nick Nist were horrified by what they saw as lax COVID-19 protocols at the facility. Bottom line is, DIA is doing an incredibly bad job at enforcing or encouraging distancing, notes Ellie, and the accompanying photos suggest problems with mask use, too. The two had flown to Denver back in November, and had spotted some issues with safety practices then. This time around, they say, things were considerably worse.
After hearing their story, and having covered Colorado s COVID-19 responses for nearly a year, I reached out to Denver International Airport to report what they d seen.
