The Military is kicking up their Status for pandemic worries in many Areas. Police and Firefighters are all ready being infected with prisons and jails also. The real scare is just beginning.The mayor here pleaded with criminals
to stop their trade and wait until after the pandemic? It's time to band together?

To ensure that we can defend the homeland despite this pandemic, our
command and control watch teams here in the headquarters split into
multiple shifts and portions of our watch team began working from
Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, creating a third team at an
alternate location as well," O'Shaughnessy said.
"Our dedicated professionals of the NORAD and NORTHCOM command and control watch have left their homes, said goodbye to their families and are isolated from everyone to ensure that they can stand the watch each and every day to defend our homeland.
"It's certainly not optimal, but it's absolutely necessary and appropriate given the situation."
