In DIA Is a COVID-19 Safety Joke, I recapped my recent experience at Denver International Airport, where mask use was spotty, social distancing was lousy in part because of ongoing construction that shrank the available space, and a train ride from a distant gate that was so crowded, passengers were packed more tightly than Dippin Dots.
I reached out to DIA for a response to my observations, and the airport s reply deflected much of the blame for the problems onto travelers rather than taking responsibility for the often sorry situation which is likely to get worse, owing to widespread confusion over the latest guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in regard to facial coverings and social distancing.
