[Nheri-council] [EXTERNAL] - NHERI Operations Update Status related to COVID-19

[Masters,Forrest]

Starting to see more traffic that university lab research will shut down or scale back, particularly in MA ...

http://web.mit.edu/covid19/update-about-on-campus-research-activities-and-related-human-resource-policies/

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2020/3/13/harvard-coronavirus-research-interruptions/

https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/14/coronavirus-pandemic-forces-research-labs-shut-down/

We’re debating the pros and cons of letting two NHERI staff work as “essential personnel” if the university requires a scale back. Wearing my PI hat, I am confident that this can safely be done given the size of the facility, assuming they distance themselves from each other and stay in radio contact. This of course means we will continue to not host visitors.

If you aren’t talking to your admin, it may be worth bringing up before an order comes down.

The Oxford Martin Programme on Global Development has the best analytics I’ve seen so far:

Definitely worth a bookmark if you seek granular information on COVID-19 outbreak.

    Council,

    Here is the latest version of the version of the NHERI status related to
    COVID.
    Please let me know about any modifications you may wish to make. NSF needs
    to know how NHERI is handling the COVID-19.


    We plan to publish on DesignSafe-CI no later than tomorrow.

    Thanks,
    Julio
