NASA Sends 17,000 employees to work from home

NASA has had a couple of virus positives in two locations, so the Admijnistratir has sent the workforce home. Info is here:

https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/n...to-coronavirus

You have to wonder if NASA subcontractors, including Boeing, might be in a similar situation. Not sure how some jobs at NASA can telework.

Is SpaceX far behind? Elon Musk has been in denial for awhile, playing down the risk. His concentrated workforce at Boca Chica Shipyard, some living onsite in trailers, might be concerned.

I thought they rejected the bail out money when the treasury asked for part control of the company?
