The Senate on Wednesday passed multi-billion dollar legislation to combat the coronavirus with a resoundingly bipartisan 90-8 vote – sending the legislation to President Trump's desk.

The spending package, which will likely not be the last government effort to confront the pandemic, includes free COVID-19 testing and money for paid leave and unemployment.

The administration and members of Congress have expressed interest in enacting further economic measures to alleviate the financial burden Americans face during the ongoing health scare.

One of the measures backed by the administration is a plan to send cash to Americans. “We are looking at sending checks to Americans immediately," Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said on Tuesday. "And what we have heard from hardworking Americans, many companies have now shut down, whether it is bars or restaurants. Americans need cash now. And the president wants to get cash now. And I mean now in the next two weeks.


Not sure the specifics of the bill if anyone can find. I’ll attach.

I read the income ceiling to receive this is $65k. Is that true?

Oh gee that’s nice, I’m shite out of luck, even though I’m in financial ruins from a recent divorce.

Hope the ex enjoys her shopping spree

Can we wait and see if this malaria drug is a confirmed cure before we give away the farm? Crap, if that’s announced, it will remedy 1/2 of the mess we’re in right off the bat.
