US: Per CNBC: "President Donald Trump on Thursday moved to cancel the
Jacksonville, Florida, portions of next month's Republican National Convention,
citing the threat of the coronavirus. "I told my team it's time to cancel the
Jacksonville, Florida, component of the GOP convention," Trump said at a White
House briefing on the coronavirus. The state has become a hot spot for the
virus. "Thousands of people [are] wanting to be there, and I mean in some cases
desperately be there," Trump said. "People making travel arrangements all over
the country." Trump said he will still deliver a campaign speech, but "in a
different form," without giving any additional details. He said he would
announce more details on the speech in the coming days."
