There are, as far as I know, 29 states currently declaring some sort of State of Emergency. What does this mean?

Take a look at the link below:
Gov. Bill Lee says no current need to close schools, workplaces amid coronavirus concerns

The article seems harmless enough; right?

Lee, who joined other governors on a call Monday with Vice President Mike Pence to discuss ongoing coronavirus efforts, confirmed that the state has received $10 million in federal funding to fight the spread of the illness.

The follow states are under a State of Emergency for other than COVID-19.
Alabama Feb18 Flooding
Georgia Mar05 Flooding
Missippi Feb15 Flooding
Tennessee Mar03 Tornado
Virgina Feb06 Flooding
West Virgina Feb07 Flooding

Maybe:
North Dakota Jan21 Trump Declares Disaster

Some of these states are downplaying the need to declare a State of Emergency for COVID-19.
These States of Emergency will normally expire in 90 days. It would be of financial benefit to declare a new State of Emergency, regarding COVID-19 once the current declaration expires.

this site lists all of the states that have been affected and if it has a little orange triangle next to the state they have declared a state of emergency. Also clicking on the name of the state will expand it to show which counties within the state have known cases.

Those states without a date, have not declared any SoE.
Those states with an "X" (ex: West Virginia) have declared SoE for other than COVID-19.

The lone state with 3 stars, Vermont, was declared a SoE, not by the Govenor, but by POTUS Trump.

Clarification

this site lists all of the states that have been affected...

Not quite the same information.
For example,
Alabama
Georgia

These states are not on the list, but are under a current declared SoE for an event that is not yet 90 days in the past.

This shows that Trump is out of touch with the average Joe family. It is easy to get from Los Angeles to Seattle in 20 hours with a family of 4 and it costly only about ~$85 in fuel, one way.

A lot less time and a little more cost in fuel if the hammer is down.:thumb:

Unless I-5 gets shut down, this really isn't going to do much in my opinion.

ok Sorry about that, I use that site because it does list the individual counties in the state that is affected and so far as I have seen Alabama does not have any cases as of yet

Fox News is suggesting Trump will declare a national emergency today.

At this time, there can only be one more update to this thread.

But I have the question, "Has there ever before been a situation where all 50 states have declared a SoE for the same threat?"
