<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>
