The pandemic is pretty fucking blatant, as are its risk reduction measures.
It doesn’t take high-level analytics to understand disease spreads through contact, therefore limit contact until the disease is under control. The core concept is kindergarten-level learning goals.

Rocket science is legendary hard and we’ve had heart-rending tragedy in our quest to explore space including Apollo 1, Soyuz 1, Gemini 9, Soyuz 11, Challenger, & Columbia.
Being flippant about safety in ANY context is newsworthy. Thank you for asking, @marinakoren.

Ah. Yes. Of course California’s public health efforts to contain a global pandemic are secondary to building electric vehicles.
And of course this disregard for safety isn’t relevant to space reporters covering the upcoming crewed launch of the Dragon. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1259159878427267072">https://twitter.com/elonmusk/...

Update:
How confident do you feel SpaceX employees can have safety concerns taken seriously this close to launch?
NASA’s human spaceflight lead resigned yesterday. Readiness review will be under an interim leader.
I’m increasingly nervous about the first crewed Dragon 2 launch.
