No deal as Senate takes procedural vote on coronavirus package

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) delayed an initial vote related to a mammoth coronavirus stimulus package until later Sunday as a deal over the bill remains elusive.

McConnell moved the vote on a "shell" bill, which the text of the stimulus package would be added to, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m on Sunday.

The decision comes after McConnell had appeared determined to move forward even as Democrats fumed over the stimulus bill being circulated by Republicans.

extended unemployment needs to be addressed in this. "checks for everyone!" sounds good, but will not keep the wolf from your door in the long haul, esp if you are among the millions that will lose their jobs as this gets worse...and it will get worse (LOTS!), assurances being mouthed by willfully ignorant optimists to the contrary.

true.

To be honest, I think it will be the countries that allow the devastation to sweep, and pick up the pieces first that will fair best in this. Of course they will pay the greatest toll.

Dow Jones futures plunged in Sunday evening's trading session, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures, triggering the "limit down" rule after Congress failed to reach a deal on a $2 trillion stimulus package. When trading resumes, the Dow Jones futures were still down about 4%. Global coronavirus cases topped 335,000, while U.S. cases jumped above 32,000 with over 15,000 in New York state alone, as the coronavirus stock market

Friends,

I wouldn't interfere in your Sunday if this wasn't urgent. Mitch McConnell and Treas Sec Steve Mnuchin are today circulating a proposed taxpayer-funded corporate bailout with no strings attached. It could be voted on in the Senate today, Sunday.

The proposal gives Mnuchin (and Trump) complete discretion to choose which industries and companies will receive $200 billion to $500 billion, and then hide the identity of the bailout recipients for six months.
There's no requirement that companies maintain payroll or benefits, no requirements to reduce executive pay, very limited restrictions on stock buybacks (that Mnuchin can waive), no oversight, no safety provisions to protect frontline workers, and no paid sick leave.

And it provides nothing for the tens of millions of American workers who have or will soon lose their jobs -- no expansion of unemployment insurance, no health insurance, no direct cash payments.
And nothing for hospitals and hospital staffs that are, or will soon be, inundated.
Please phone both your senators and leave messages, demanding they put people over corporations. And please share this message.

The so-called "stimulus bill" is just another huge scam from the most inept group of criminals EVER in the White House. Like $1,000-2,000 is going to help anyone = the truly needy will qualify for nothing. Big corporations already got their huge welfare handout with the "tax cut" . Hotels ? Gee, look at who "owns" hotels.....
Thousands will die because tRump LIED. VOTE NOV 3

It's turning into that.

The feeding bell has been rung and the big pigs are salivating.

Probably even writing "rescue recovery plans" and twisting things so that Trump can give money to swing districts.

It would be so easy to just send people who've filed tax returns, a stack of digital Benjies.

But the people that will benefit most are the people that got some huge tax cuts a few years ago.

Communist-run Cuba said it dispatched a brigade of doctors and nurses to Italy for the first time this weekend to help in the fight against the novel coronavirus at the request of the worst-affected region Lombardy.

The Caribbean island has sent its "armies of white robes" to disaster sites around the world largely in poor countries since its 1959 revolution. Its doctors were in the front lines in the fight against cholera in Haiti and against ebola in West Africa in the 2010s.

It's not been this cold in weeks.

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly. Imagine a two week isolation with only that to read.
