New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) slammed the enormous $2 trillion economic stimulus package hashed out by Congress to stabilize the US economy from the impact of the battering from the effects of the novel coronavirus outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic, as inadequate.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced Thursday that perhaps younger people and those who have already recovered from COVID-19 may be encouraged to get back to work as part of a "modified public health strategy."

Medical response capabilities in New York City are stretched seriously thin, and medical professionals are rationing supplies, according to one hospital emergency medicine chief.

Two leading senators, each a top name on his side of the political aisle, differ sharply over whether US workers have a right to the level of support coming to them in the massive, $2 trillion economic stimulus package nearing final approval in Congress to blunt the economic fallout from the novel coronavirus outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic.

The Senate approved an enormous $2 trillion economic stimulus package aimed at shoring up a US economy being battered by the impact of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic, but at least two senators see the potential for a need for Congress to pass additional stimulus bills.

The pushback is increasing across the United States over Donald Trump's desire to lift the extreme lockdowns and social distancing that have been in place in an effort to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic.

While Donald Trump is hoping to reopen the country by Easter, NY Gov Cuomo expects the social distancing and other measures to contain COVID-19 to last much longer.

Sonny Hostin, co-host of the ABC daily talk show The View, is placing the blame for Donald Trump's desire to end the nation's lockdowns and social distancing by Easter on Trump's own business losses.

At least two prominent federal public health professionals appear to be offering Americans at least somewhat conflicting advice on the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.

The decisions to close everything from schools, to state and local governments, to restaurants, bars, theaters and other establishments have been made by the nation's governors and mayors. And the decision to lift them will rest solely with them, as well. Not Donald Trump.
