WASHINGTON — Members of Congress are becoming increasingly anxious about coronavirus, and there is growing pressure on leadership to take steps to protect lawmakers — even potentially recessing for a period of weeks — two Democratic congressional sources said Sunday.
Multiple sources said anxiety was on the rise among lawmakers as more cases are reported and the virus spreads.
"Members are very nervous," a senior Democratic leadership aide said. "There's a lot of concern that members could bring it home."
The House is scheduled to resume meeting this week after a weekend at home. Several offices said that by Sunday evening, there were no changes to the schedule. Members are expecting an update on the coronavirus at their usual caucus meeting Tuesday morning at the Capitol.

Congress is like the Nursing home in Washington State
No doubt Congress is old, all the more reason they should start getting some work done after spending 3 years focused only on getting Trump.
Pelosi recently visited SF Chinatown.
Future Drudge Headline:
Coughin Clinton Croaks from Corona
Hope Rush Limbaugh is OK too...smoker and lung cancer.
Thin the herd.
Hmmmm...who has a better chance at surviving...Hillary, Biden, Bernie or Trump? I”m thinking Trump.
Proving once again ... cloud...silver lining
The relatively young Senator Ted Cruz showed responsibility by his self-quarantining after his possible exposure at the conservative conference.
Props to him.
Where to even start with this one.
lol....
Sure hope so - we need to thin the herd Big Time!
If i were Trump..i wouldn’t let any democrats near me.
Term limits as imposed by a higher power?Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Is this all that “Democrat sources” can do?
The frontline for fighting Coronavirus is in nursing home.
Are these Democrat staffers afraid to get a little poop on their hands?
They need to march down to a nursing home and start cleaning toilets!
Don’t be haughty, go scrub a potty!
Exempt yourselves from THIS, Congress! LMAO
The reports tell of fever, coughing, and shortness of breath — the symptoms for my last bad cold. Fortunately, nobody was writing me off as dead.
Where to even start with this one.
Same problem!
So I will keep quiet and move on.
Thank You Lord for some common sense.
