On the recordMarch 27, 2020
As of today, in my State alone, 6,800 people have been tested positive, with 81 deaths; and, in one family alone, four members of the family have died. Containing the pandemic and developing and deploying reliable therapeutics and a safe and effective vaccine must be our highest priority no matter the cost. People, especially those on the front lines in healthcare, first responders, are heroically meeting the challenge offered, at great personal cost. The $2.2 trillion CARES Act is comprehensive and absolutely needed. It provides unprecedented support for taxpayers, small businesses, and grants to hospitals; it helps State and local governments; and it boosts unemployment and food security. Special thanks to all of those on the House and Senate side for their leadership, for their cooperation on this bill, and to President Trump, the Vice President, Dr. Birx, Dr. Fauci, and many others who have brought their expertise to confronting this huge challenge.
