Us covid19 is up to three times more contagious than the flu. That means in a normal cycle of this virus, just one person with coronavirus could kick off a Snowball Effect that leaves up to 59,000 new infection. Think about that. And then, think about the way we normally operate here. Members travel frequently from their home states, some of which are coronavirus hotspots, to convene together in the capitol complex. Then, we travel back home at the end of the week and we repeat this process month after month after month. Along the way, we come in contact with fellow travelers.

The existing conditions or other heightened risk for illness, but we know just how easy this virus spreads among those with strong immune systems. Choices thathe each one of us makes are especially important. Not just about protecting

I would just point out that already as part of the Coronavirus Relief measures that congress has passed, there was 150 billion sent to state and local governments, much of which has yet to be spent. And, frankly, much of which we dont know what the actual need is out there until we have a better sense for what the revenue loss is to a lot of our state and local governments.
