The relentless spread of COVID-19 is now impacting more than 500 patients in the U.S. across nearly three-dozen states. New York has the most of any state at 142, including the executive director of the Port Authority, the bi-state agency that runs the airports and other transit infrastructure. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there have been 19 deaths in the country associated with coronavirus, mainly in Washington State and also one in California. Two members of Congress are now self-quarantining after possible exposure at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Florida is telling anyone who has traveled anywhere overseas to self-quarantine.
