U.S. lawmakers may vote on coronavirus response bill as soon as next week: source

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives could vote on an emergency bill aimed at providing funding for the country's coronavirus response as soon as next week, a congressional source said on Friday.

Negotiators were looking at approving between $6 to $8 billion in funding for the response, the source said, significantly higher than the $2.5 billion the White House had requested.

This is interesting. A pandemic response without a vaccine. What will it entail? Good practice for more serious threats.
What will the government do? Pay me to stay home from work if I get sick? Buy me some chicken soup? They don't have a vaccine and that's the only thing they know.
Don't vote for more money then ask Trump will just divert it to his wall anyways.
Respiratory diseases are leading causes of death and disability in the world. About 65 million people suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 3 million die from it each year, making it the third leading cause of death worldwide. One of the respiratory disease is coronavirus.
Does this mean they ain't finishing the Wall?
It takes them months to vote on a bill for a virus that has been around since December
China could build 4 hospitals in the time it takes the U.S. to vote on a bill.
Don't kid yourself. The house may drag things out but when it involves our military, they'll build one of those mobile setups in 3 days vs. Chinese setups in two weeks.That's if you're referring to the hospitals that you might be basing your thoughts on built in China recently.Emergency changes things sometimes.
Lol, the first thing they'll do is figure out which Republican gets the contract to build it....
Besides if Trump had asked for 6 billion the Dems would say we need 10 . This whole thing has been politicized by them.
This whole thing was probably concocted by the Democrats and China to try and take down President Trump. The Chinese would love to get another pandering Democrat to take advantage of.
will it affect the stock market?
Yes, and exactly in the way the ChiComms want it to do so.
