Mask use is becoming increasingly rare at major metro Denver retail outlets. The undertone of official messaging about the COVID-19 pandemic is beginning to recall that moment in 2003 after the U.S. attack on Afghanistan whenPresident George W. Bush stood on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln in front of a sign reading "Mission Accomplished."
