Trump expected to declare a national emergency as coronavirus crisis deepens

U.S. President Donald Trump gives an address to the nation from the Oval Office of the White House, in Washington, on March 11, 2020.As the coronavirus outbreak tore deeper into the fabric of American public life, President Donald Trump was expected to declare a national emergency on Friday to provide more money to fight a pandemic that has killed 41 people in the United States.

San Francisco, San Diego and Washington, D.C., also joined a parade of school closures. A handful of states, including Ohio and Michigan, announced statewide school shutdowns. But New York Mayor Bill de Blasio signalled that he had no immediate plans to shutter the city’s public schools – the nation’s largest system.

“I think it’s absolutely the right decision to move it,” said Starbuck, 34, of Denver, who easily qualified for the elite race with a time of 2 hours, 40 minutes. “I was expecting them to come to this decision. I just wish it came a little bit sooner,” he said.With the national emergency expected to be declared by Trump, an aid package to limit the economic damage from the crisis is hanging in the balance.

Across America, shoppers preparing to hunker down at home hit stores in droves to stockpile supplies of food and other essentials like toilet paper, cookies, pasta and paper towels as coronavirus concerns stoked fears of shortages. The CDC tally includes 49 cases among people repatriated from Japan and Wuhan, China, where the outbreak began. It has since spread to more than 130 countries and territories, infecting over 138,000 people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.
