The crisis hits home for many more Americans

Basketball, baseball and hockey seasons suspended. Theaters and museums shuttered. Concerts scrapped. A sober-toned speech from the Oval Office. Travel plans upended. One plunge after another on Wall Street. Well-known athletes, preachers and politicians infected — and even Tom Hanks.

The coronavirus outbreak is feeling a lot less distant today for many Americans, even if they live far from any reported case. That was especially true for those on a JetBlue flight to West Palm Beach, Fla., from New York after one passenger learned in midflight that his coronavirus test had come back positive.

The outbreak even seemed to be circling closer to President Trump. A senior Brazilian official who visited Mar-a-Lago and was in proximity to Mr. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence has tested positive. A White House spokeswoman said Thursday that the president and vice president would not be tested.

The Brazilian official was part of a delegation led by President Jair Bolsonaro, who is waiting to hear if he has the virus, too. Two Republican senators who met with Mr. Bolsonaro or were at Mar-a-Lago — Rick Scott of Florida and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina — put themselves in isolation.
