<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
