World News: You hunkering down with politics news? Same.

Monday, March 16

Reporters raise their hands to ask President Donald Trump a question during a press briefing with the coronavirus task force at the White House on Monday.

OnPolitics: When can we go outside again? Trump has a guess.

At this point, we've just accepted that coronavirus has taken over our political newsletter. But you'll get the most updated info out there.

We might be doing this until August

President Donald Trump said Monday that Americans could be hunkered down and practicing social distancing at least until July or August to confront the coronavirus pandemic. Trump announced a list of new guidelines.

During a White House briefing, Trump was asked whether the administration had any estimate of how quickly the country would "turn this corner." Many Americans have been working from home, and states are increasingly closing schools, businesses and prohibiting large gatherings of people.

"People are talking about July, August - or something like that," Trump told reporters, who were spaced in every other seat in the White House briefing room to practice distancing.

Relief will come, eventually

The sweeping coronavirus relief bill the House rushed to pass early Saturday is being delayed over technical issues and could take days to reach President Donald Trump's desk.

A bill to fix some of the language related to the paid family leave portion of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act is being held up in the House while negotiations on the issue are resolved. The issue is being compounded by the objections of Rep. Louis Gohmert, a Texas Republican, who was one of 40 GOP lawmakers who voted against the bill early Saturday morning.

The measure passed 363-40. But it's unclear when it will reach Trump's desk
