      He is involved in our judiciary system human trafficking of Ppl with intellectual/developmental disabilities, the elderly and children , so he is not only not keeping them safe, but exploiting them and profiting from them, mentally torturing them and anyone who tried to defend them, , but yeah, he did a good job shutting Denver down when he did for the Covid 19, it also has a lot to do with Ppl choosing to listen, so good job to them too, have a Blessed Day

    Truly captivating. Thank you Metro Denver for taking this seriously and thank you for filming this for us Blake Rubenstein. I was born and raised here and this isn't far from how things looked on a Sunday morning (except that most of those buildings weren't here).

    Beautiful, haunting. It's changed so much over the years. I've lived in Denver since 1997 (Colorado Springs girl here), moved away for four years to Japan in 2013, and then when I moved back in 2017, it was shocking to see how much the population had exploded, and places I knew for years having gone out of business. It was my home city, but not my home city. Everything was the same, but strange and different. This footage was beautiful. Thank you!

    Beautiful and eerie...... contrasted in our minds (for those who live or have lived in Denver) what a typical weekday drone shot would show.
    This from ColoradoPols.com ....
    Not all the coronavirus news is bad news, as The Washington Post reports from the state of Washington:
    The suburban hospital that handled the first onslaught of coronavirus patients weeks ago - a crush of seriously ill and dying nursing home residents that signaled the beginning of the national health crisis - is now offering cautious optimism to people across the United States who are searching for an end to the springtime nightmare: They believe they might have flattened the curve here.
    At EvergreenHealth Medical Center, two miles from the shuttered Lifecare nursing home where 35 patient deaths were linked to the virus, officials say their rate of new covid-19 cases has remained steady for two weeks, leveling off at a trickle. On some days, doctors here see just one new case and haven’t seen more than four in a single day since mid-March. Few need admission to the intensive care unit, which is now half full, two weeks after overflow necessitated transfers to nearby hospitals…
    …“It is a glimmer of hope,” Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said. “This is suggestive that some of the things we’re doing together is having some very modest improvement. The things we did two weeks ago are now appearing in our hospitals.” [Pols emphasis]

      In 1860, a year after Denver was founded, New York City already had a population of 1,174,779. Many of those people ended up migrating to Denver, along with others from up and down the East Coast, to build this city. When exactly do you propose Denver should have "closed the door" to new migrants? Right after you got here? Right after your parents got here, if you are a "native?" Or are you a descendant of the Arapahoe tribes who camped along Cherry Creek in the 19th century and can actually claim to be a native without being a hypocrite?
