  • Almost two week difference: not from a source, just common knowledge that march 1 is almost 2 weeks before march 13
  • Sourcing notes (not to be construed as suggesting that the sources shouldn't be read in full, but just for help locating where facts are specifically available for verification; most facts are in more than one of the sources, only one listed here)
    1. WHO declared pandemic on Wednesday, coronavirus causes COVID-19 disease: Prior wikinews article
    2. Proclamation specifically said...: Proclamation text, paragraph beginning with "NOW, THEREFORE"
    3. HHS declared public health emergency: Proclamation text, first paragraph
    4. Didn't put FEMA in charge, quotes: Politico, paragraph beginning with "Still, some disaster" and the following one (4th and 3rd from the end)
