In the Northwest Bronx, in Washington Heights, Inwood, in Harlem and East Harlem, this pandemic is still ravaging Black and Brown lives. The economic plight this virus will leave will be unprecedented. I am glad we are providing $60 billion for small businesses and fought for funding for hospitals and testing, but we must come back. Mitch McConnell's words are equivalent to Gerald Ford's words: Drop dead, New York. But we will come back. We must support State and local governments. We must support our communities. Our people are dying.
