The Hill: Trump weighing potential emergency declaration for coronavirus
President Trump is weighing whether to declare a national emergency over the coronavirus, which would free up additional resources to combat the rapidly spreading disease.
The president indicated to reporters that using an emergency declaration under the Stafford Act was under consideration, but would not say definitively whether he would sign it on Thursday.
"We have things that I can do. We have very strong emergency powers under the Stafford Act," he said during an Oval Office meeting with the Irish prime minister. "I have it memorized practically as to the powers in that act, and if I need to do something I’ll do it. I have the right to do a lot of things that people don't even know about."

WNU Editor: The Dow Jones just crashed losing 2300 points (10% of its value). Stock market live updates here. If this is not going to result in a declaration of a National Emergency, I then do not know what it will take. My prediction. This blog has been covering this crisis since January 20. World leaders have been taking this crisis very seriously since then .... President Trump included. Every leader in executive positions of power will do what is necessary to protect their country, and they are doing it now. Get ready for more border closures, travel restrictions, and quarantines. But all pandemics will end, including this one. But in the meantime all of us are going to be impacted by this crisis, and we will be stronger when it is over.

Considering? means nothing but you are not sure what to do
show some leadership at long last
This is beyond stupid crises my booty. People get over paranoid. 4:26 some leadership at last bro it sounds like what ever he does you wouldn't be happy.
the market re4flects the uncertainty he has created. that is why I tell him to show leadership...he failed to do that in the tv nonsense yesterday. I imagine even you know that!
Did he assure us that he is doing all things that science tells us?
what has he done? suggtested helping bail out oil!
"Show some leadership at long last." I agree call out the COVID-19 hoaxers for what they really are. I know a number of people in the medical profession who agree with what I initially suspected. We're overeacting!! The so called leadership in the medical profession can't seem to catch on!! Why is this so? Might they be on the take by someone whose trying to fan the flames of hysteria.
I think POTUS intuitively gets this but he simply doesn't have the large bullhorn to get this message out that the purveyors of fear have. To make matters worse, he failed to get the proper messaging out about 6 weeks ago.
So now here we are needing to declare a national emergency to deal with our hysterical overreaction that has already inflicted tremendous damage on some very good people. To properly deal with it I think there will need to be a complete purging of leadership positions at organizations like the CDC.
The editor is correct. We will be stronger. As has been said, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. In order to have complete closure, the people who inflicted this hysterical overreaction on us will need to be brought to justice either by us or by karna.
While I get why US leaders would do this. The goal is obvious. Bring about political change even if the economy has to be destroyed. I'm not so sure why countries like Norway and Italy would do this. If the US "deep state" really has that kind of reach, we're in really, really deep sh!t!! Fortunately this is unlikely!!
As it stands now, the big winners are China and Russia. China got to use this as cover to eliminate undesirables and have conveniently declared the crisis in their country over. As for Russia, they sit by while their enemies in the "west" destroy themselves!! After all, why interfere with an enemy whose destroying himself?!!?

our science people tell us not to panic. That said, they do not dismiss this as does Trump and you are lying about the severity of this virus...we told by science that by April it will be seriously destructive...and our schools are all closing, state by state and you? you post utter nonsense...worry about momma russia, where a lot is not being reported butf it is spreading.
"AAt the hearing, Fauci defended his ability to be forthright about the scientific facts while serving under Trump. “I have never ever held back telling exactly what is going on from a public health standpoint,” he said to the lawmakers. But he hesitated briefly after Connolly asked him whether it was a mistake for the president to dismantle the office within the National Security Council that oversaw global health and security. “I wouldn’t necessarily characterize it as a mistake,” he said, before adding that “it would be nice if the office was still there.”
This is an artificial stock market crash made by panicked people and an oil price war between the Saudis and Russia but go ahead and keep the misinformation propaganda going on I love to here good fiction
