2020 State Legislative Trends Report
On March 11th, the World Health Organization officially declared a global pandemic at 12:16 pm EST. The NBA halted its season at 7:00 pm EST. At 9:02 pm EST President Trump announced travel bans to limit the spread. Tom Hanks revealed he had COVID-19 with an Instagram post at 9:08 pm EST. While COVID-19 had been quietly spreading before that day, March 11th was the day that our change in habits went into hyperspeed.
