BREAK: Trump says UK could be added to travel ban list.

"We may have to include them in the list of countries that we will you can say ban, or whatever it is, during this period of time."
Tweak to quote after listening back - it was "could" not "can"
More from Trump on possibly adding UK to travel ban.

"It was looking good but the results have been building up pretty rapidly. So we’ll be taking another look at that."

NEW: Nancy Pelosi has announced her coronavirus bill, to vote today

‘The Families First Coronavirus Response Act’

:: Free test for everyone who needs it

:: Stronger unemployment insurance

:: Help getting food to 10s of millions of kids on cheap/free school meals
Also...

:: 2 weeks paid sick leave / families medical leave for those affected
Public announcement means she has the numbers in the House to pass.

Qu now is whether the Republican-held Senate will pass in full or not.

(Paid sick leave reportedly a key debating point).

An insight into what’s coming from the Seattle area of Washington, the worst affected bit of the US.

No gatherings of 250+. All Catholic Church services stopped. People told sitting shoulder-to-shoulder at bars is now “totally unacceptable”.
Governor’s order capping gatherings at 250 applies to:

“social, spiritual and recreational activities including, but not limited to, community, civic, public, leisure, faith-based, or sporting events; parades; concerts; festivals; conventions; fundraisers; +similar activities”
Governor said the order will be enforced if violated.

He added: “The penalties are, you might be killing your granddad if you don’t do it, and I’m serious about this.”

Good morning. Divergence b/n US & Asia is happening again w/ US ISM manufacturing bouncing in Jan to 50.9 from 47.8 while Asian data remains weak (Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand, & China slower). New orders rose to 52! After an abysmal Monday China iron ore⏬today.
As mentioned yesterday, we only had that magnitude of single-day drops 5 times since 2001 & in 2007 markets rebounded the next day but NOT 2015. The drop of iron ore forebodes 2015 for today & not 2007, meaning, likely get to buy it cheaper if u think markets over-reacting🤗!
Link on US ISM manu if u want to read from the source (should always read primary data if u have access to interpret data urself). Asian data below. B/c of this, USD rising to 97.8 (note this is just w/ major floaters & mostly EUR & doesn't include CNY)

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?
Family members cry as their loved ones get bused off to a #Coronavirus quarantine zone in Wuhan
