U.S. Military command teams in charge of protecting homeland security isolated in Cheyenne mountain bunker.

Daily Mail: U.S. military command teams in charge of protecting homeland security are being isolated in the infamous Cheyenne mountain bunker where they will remain 'sealed off' until the coronavirus pandemic passes.

The command took such steps to ensure personnel can monitor the COVID-19 pandemic around the clock as the disease spreads around the world[.]
[.]
Should the staff working at the bunker become ill, there is a third team of high-ranking military officials working another 'secret' location[.]
[.]
'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.[']
[.]
The NORAD base lies behind 23-ton blast doors and is arguably the most secure place on earth. A warren of tunnels was blasted out of Colorado granite in the 1960s and is now teeming with high-tech surveillance and monitoring equipment.
[.]
The bunker lies 2,000 feet under Cheyenne Mountain outside Colorado Springs. It can be sealed off by two giant blast doors made of concrete and steel, each 3½ feet thick.
[.]
It takes 45 seconds for built-in hydraulic machinery to close the blast doors. If the hydraulics fail, two people can close them by hand.

The Daily Mail article is quite interesting with great photos of some of what is contained within Cheyenne Mountain.

Along with all those working in the medical field, those protecting the public (law enforcement, fire-fighters, first responders, etc), the truckers, delivery drivers, volunteers putting in time without pay to help others - say a prayer for those who protect our nation. All of these people are putting our lives ahead of their personal interests and their personal lives. We owe them BIG TIME.
