"The Democrats put partisan interests ahead of what's good for the nation by blocking the cloture vote this evening to proceed on the CARES Act," Alfredo Ortiz, president and CEO of the network said in a statement. "Millions of small businesses and employees around the country need the relief that this bill offered."
"Small businesses will know who is to blame for holding up the loans and grants they require to stay operational and pay their employees," Ortiz said. "April 1st is right around the corner and in the real world that is when rent, car, and mortgage payments are due."
"Ordinary Americans need the checks that the CARES Act would provide now, not a month or two from now," Ortiz said in the statement. "Millionaires like Pelosi and Schumer obviously don't need to worry about these concerns facing their constituents."
"It's time they stop playing chicken with the livelihoods of millions of Americans just so they can stick it to Trump," Ortiz said.
"At this stage, we are focusing on precautionary measures to contain the spread of the virus. Although we have the medical teams, it will [definitely] not be enough [if the situation continues to deteriorate], especially given the fact that we have a shortage of medicine and medical equipment."But they will need financial assistance too. On Thursday, Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon signed a decree allowing the transfer of some $33 million of Palestinian taxpayers' money to the PA in a bid to keep their medical system afloat.
"Pneumonias, where [the] causative agent has not been conclusive are all tested for coronavirus as well. If we had a massive infection, we would see also deaths rising and incidents rising," she said. "There is no significant difference" to previous years.Motivational posters reminiscent of the Soviet area have popped up to encourage builders of Moscow's new coronavirus hospital. People over 65 in Moscow will be paid to self-isolate (excepting Putin!). The Russian vaccine in development has reportedly passed its first stage, and is expected to be ready in 11 months.
"We don't exclude the possibility that there are some missed cases that might start a chain of infection," she explained. "That is why there is a massive information campaign going on by the government and the WHO" to explain the risks of the coronavirus and how to mitigate it through social distancing and proper personal hygiene.
