It's Friday, March 20th, and the person in charge of this crisis is still Donald Trump.

I'm Sean Ramos-Vroom, and this is your coronavirus update from today's splint.

More than 11,000 people have now died worldwide as a result of COVID-19.

We've got well over 250,000 known cases.

In his now daily press briefing, President Trump continued to be cagey about whether he

used something called the Defense Production Act to compel American industries to provide

critical medical equipment during this crisis.

He then attacked his own State Department, calling it the Deep State Department.

Dr. Anthony Fauci from the NIH looked like he wanted to disappear, but it was a heck of

a transition to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who did not defend his employees, but announced

the United States borders with Canada and Mexico will officially close to non-essential

travelers at midnight on Saturday.

Pompeo also reminded Americans abroad to come home or get ready to hunker down for a while.

New York's governor told people to stay at home as much as possible.

He also told all non-essential businesses to close down California's governor to the

same thing last night, essentially.

The nation's now running low on blood.

The blood isn't for COVID-19, patients specifically, but the American Red Cross supplies roughly 40%

of the nation's blood and blood drives have been canceled, left and right.

They're trying to pick up the slack and could use your help.

And from the Department of Silver Linings, Americans got an extension under taxes.

You've got until July 15th.
