UPDATE: Ten NASA Facilities Are Now At Stage 4 Due To COVID-19
Keith’s note: According to https://nasapeople.nasa.gov/coronavirus/ four five six nine ten NASA facilities are now at Stage 4 on the NASA COVID-19 Response Framework: Ames, Michoud, GISS, Stennis, Glenn, Plum Brook, Goddard, Wallops, Armstrong and now Marshall. Everyone else is currently at Stage 3.
GRC starts Stage 4 tomorrow.
KSC is still at Stage 3, even though we had someone test positive yesterday.
The president is itching to end the restrictions and open everything up again.
Which is why it is important that we are a Republic not a centralized democracy. Every governor has the authority to keep things shut down in their state as well as local leaders and you should note that is exactly how it’s being done now. Yes, the President like most Americans would like this to be over, but he is just expressing wishful thinking, as the states have the actual power to determine when it ends. Remember that under our system of government the authority of the President is much more limited than in other nations.
