NEW: President Trump tells jonkarl that he is going to “request” that some large companies and institutions return the money they received as part of stimulus relief. “Harvard is going to pay back the money and they shouldn't be taking it,” Trump adds.
Here are the latest developments in the government response:
The overall deal lawmakers and the White House agreed to tops $484 billion and also adds funding for hospitals and a national testing plan, measures pushed for by Democrats.It comes just weeks after Congress approved a $2 trillion stimulus package, the largest relief measure in American history. Donning masks and practicing social distancing, roughly 20 members of the largest nurses union in the U.S. protested at the White House on Tuesday to demand additional funding for mass production of personal protective equipment in the next coronavirus relief package.
"There have been three COVID-19 packages passed in Congress and not one has earmarked any COVID funds for healthcare workers’ PPE in any of those packages," the protester added."The president has not fully exercised the Defense Production Act to produce badly needed PPE -- and the CDC continues to weaken its COVID-19 guidance for facilities."
