New Trump Coronavirus Guidelines
Recommend Avoiding Crowds
of More Than 10 People President Donald Trump and
members of the coronavirus task force
spoke at length with the press on Monday afternoon. Trump indicated that the threat
of the virus for the American people
was likely to last until at least "July,
August, something like that." In addition to avoiding
crowds of greater than 10 people, the new Trump administrations
guidelines recommend home-schooling,
as well as the avoidance of travel and restaurants. Trump also responded to rumors
of a national lockdown similar to what
has occurred in other countries such as China and Italy. He said his administration
"may look at certain areas, certain hotspots
as they call them​," but "at this moment, no we're not." The Dow Jones continued its
plunge as the press conference went on,
closing at a more than 12 percent decline. Trump was asked if the American
economy was headed into a recession. President Trump,
