NEW: A sense of anxiety is setting in on Capitol Hill as a coronavirus package expected to have bipartisan support is still in limbo and questions are growing about whether Trump will back it.

The latest w/ @sarahnferris @BresPolitico

No one seems totally sure Mnuchin, the lead negotiator for the White House, is speaking on Trump’s behalf. Dems day he’s operating in good faith but don’t know if Trump could pull the rug from under him. politico.com/news/2020/03/1…
And here’s the crux of it: Rs want Trump to publicly back the package before they do. Unclear if he’s willing to— and they were bitten on FISA just a couple days ago, so trust is not high.

Wow, @timkmak obtained a recording of Sen. BURR three weeks ago in which he tells attendees of a private luncheon of dire coronavirus consequences long before the WH was acknowledging them publicly. npr.org/2020/03/19/818…
Her described the virus’ transmission as more “aggressive” than any in recent memory and compared it to the “1918 pandemic.”
UPDATE: Burr hit back hard at the NPR story, calling it a ‘hit piece’ but doing little to rebut the notion that his private warnings were far more dire than his public claims of confidence, which more closely matched the president’s. politico.com/news/2020/03/1…

New #Coronavirus thread. Tagging someone in this tweet makes me paranoid I ruined it.

The old thread is here though
Here's what the #Coronavirus hospital looks like, 4 days of construction later. They're working as fast as they can but is it too late, regardless?

1/Heated rhetoric between Washington & Tehran over recent days culminate in an ALL CAPS threat from #Trump directed at #Iran's president #Rouhani (flash-back to his tweet in Jan for N.Korea's Kim Jong Un on "bigger & more powerful" nuclear button). Trajectory deeply problematic:
2/#Trump's tweet response to #Rouhani saying yesterday:"America should know peace with #Iran is mother of all peace & war with Iran is mother of all wars".Rouhani left open prospect for diplomacy although SL #Khamenei said on Saturday further talks with US "useless" "major error"
3/In Middle East context Rouhani is right that Iran-US conflict is"mother of all wars".If you thought #Iraq invasion was bad: military conflict with #Iran would be devastating & costly:Iran roughly 4x size & 3x population size of Iraq in 2003.Niether Iran nor US interested in war
