The bill has just passed the u. S. Senate that should make testing easier than for more lets cross live now to mike hanna in washington d. C. Mike whats in the new bell. Well it does propose some 100000000000. 00 which will go to a variety of things including as you say providing free testing for all buttressing an Unemployment Insurance fund and providing free paid sick care for a number of u. S. Workers this is the 2nd bill thats gone through Congress Last week there was an 8000000000. 00 bill that went through and that was dealing directly with containing the virus this one is likely to be signed very soon by President Trump its now gone through the house now gone through the senate but still questions about exactly how effective this bill will be and mike how effective is it really impacting the lives of americans. Well lets just take a look at that issue of testing this bill does provide for free testing but then of course the question is are tests available which it does appear still they are not the slow rollout of test kits continues secondly it does not apply for treatment treatment can cost tens of thousands of dollars but this kind of covers only the testing the other issue that has been pointed out is a question of paid sick leave the bill does provide for paid sick leave for some categories of workers but it excludes any company with more than 500. 00 workers or any company with less than 50 workers now obviously these are the Big Companies the walmarts the mcdonalds the wendys and they are not required in terms of this bill to provide paid sick leave for their workers so there are a number of loopholes here but still any incentive any impetus into the economy obviously would be welcomed at this particular point the house and the senate are working on a nother build together with the white house thats expected to release some trillion dollars into the economy focus on that over the next few days mike hanna in washington d.

Whether they will defy the government orders to stay off the streets right now in fact its 200 people. Excuse me the power of the pepper sprays getting to be at 200. 00 people is the maximum thats allowed to be out now but most likely the president will 2 declare a curfew and he has already said that large groups of people will not be allowed in any number in Public Places to keep him from getting from catching the coronavirus more frequent spreading and there is a lot of fear so people are staying home people are loans have been clothes Shopping Centers have been closed discotheques restaurants the country the city has already spent countless already shutting down on its own even before the formal order is given presumably by the weekend to isolate the capital which has the largest number of cases.
