Asking for a friend.

I haven't heard any all's-clear sounded...

5. I dunno. What color code are we at?

I'm all out of duct tape and plastic sheeting.

[virgogal]

8. Funny,I forgot all about that. These knee-jerk reactions

can be very humorous like the appointment of an Ebola “czar” whose term lasted about 6 months.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. He's still in office, if that's what you mean.

[sarisataka]

7. Yes,

We currently have 33 in effect.

The last time an emergency was ended was in 2016

[jberryhill]

10. Oh, I must have miscounted

I came up with 32, but I might have made a mistake.

[sarisataka]

11. I counted

5 Trump
10 Obama
11 Bush II
6 Clinton
1 Carter
I didn't verify if they all are "official".
In any case they are not unusual

Current Trump March 15, 2019 Sanctions

President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency regarding telecommunications equipment that could pose a risk to national security. The order bans American companies from using any telecommunications equipment that the secretary of Commerce declares to be a national security risk.

Soon after the executive order - "Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain" - was signed, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the Department of Commerce announced that it will be adding Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd and 70 affiliates to its Entity List. The Department of Commerce alleged that Huawei was engaged in activities that are contrary to US national security or foreign policy interest. As a result, sale or transfer of American technology to a company or person on the Entity List requires a license issued by the BIS, and a license may be denied if the sale or transfer would harm US national security or foreign policy interests.
