Friend. Were watching that very closely. Were keeping close eye on washington. Were focused on capitol hill. The house taking up the stimulus measure, relief measure, whatever you want to call it, to the tune of 484 billion. Now the house physically there, in person, some Wearing Masks to make sure they get this done. Lets get the latest from chad pergram, how this will all sort of fan out. Chad . Reporter hey there, neil. This is the debate. They started 15 minutes ago on this bill, about 324 billion of this goes to Small Businesses. You might recall a couple weeks ago that fund ran dry. The cupboard is bare. The cost of this bill ballooned from 251 billion specifically to Small Business, to 484 billion as you say. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says democrats improved the bill. There is money in here for hospitals and testing. Listen to the speaker.

About 1200, 1300 new infections every day. Number of lives lost is still heartbreaking news, 422. Again, this is at an unimaginable level. It is dropping somewhat but is still devastating news. The question we are watching now is we hit the high point and we are on the way down, how fast does the number come down and how far does that number drop . We have projections again, like we ha

We are a little bit behind. Im joined by the woman on my right, the commissioner of the department of health. To her right, another guy in need of no introduction, dr. Ed.

First, today, we are announcing an additional 347 positive test results, pushing ur state total to 102,196. My monitor is out. If someone could get it plugged in, that would be great. Even as we cross 100,000, we must keep in mind there are tens of thou
Hit Us Public Health infrastructure like hospital beds and masks and ventilators must be produced and procured. Testing is still at its proper capacity. And the resulting economic downturn from this virus is already impacting millions of American Families, workers, and businesses, small, medium, large alike. First, on a personaler note, please, americans, take care of yourselves. Avoidur unnecessary contact, evn thoughnt i know that so many of the meetings and gatherings and celebrations that weed had pland must be postponed. Its painful, but not as painful as the continuing spread of this awful virus. And a little advice, and this is not universal but ive heard this a number of medical people that i trust.
