Meanwhile, former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, delivered his own remarks on coronavirus Thursday, setting up a shadow alternative to the Trump approach from the campaign trail.

Thatto stoke fears that could further damage the economy and his re-election chances.
And stocks continued to take a beating Thursday morning, with trading halted at the New York Stock Exchange for the second time in a week — the first time that has happened in more than two decades.On Capitol Hill, lawmakers announced that the Capitol complex would be closed to the public through the end of the month, and senators and House members attended separate bipartisan briefings featuring a panel of administration officials that mixed in health officials with loyal Trump appointees.
"The good news is that our nation’s economy remains strong," McConnell said."The president is continuing to take action himself. We just passed billions in urgent funding last week. And the Senate will continue to stand ready and willing to work toward further bicameral, bipartisan actions when the House Democrats decide to get serious."
