Dr. Anthony Fauci responded to criticism from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem on Sunday, after the Republican state leader suggested that her approach to COVID-19 mitigation was effective despite its obvious departures from the expert’s advice.
During an appearance on CBS News’ Face the Nation, Fauci encouraged Noem to “take a look at the numbers,” as South Dakota records some of the most significant increases in COVID-19 cases and deaths per capita in the country.
As longstanding director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Fauci is an experienced public health specialist who helped guide the U.S. through COVID-19 mitigation as a leading member of Donald Trump‘s Coronavirus Task Force. He now serves as chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden.
“You know, it’s unfortunate…it is not really helpful,” he told moderator Margaret Brennan, referencing Noem’s remarks during a speech at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, when she claimed that Fauci is “wrong a lot” during a speech that earned her a standing ovation.
“Because sometimes you think things are going well, and just take a look at the numbers. They don’t lie,” Fauci continued. “We see, Margaret, what happens when you pull back prematurely. Now, you’re going to have individual instances of situations where people may not have, and didn’t see a rebound right away. But you’ve really got to be careful, particularly now that we have variants in this country that seem to spread more efficiently and maybe even are more dangerous with regard to pathogenicity.”
Noem’s lenient approach to COVID-19 mitigation has been criticized throughout the pandemic. Unlike other states where leaders implemented mask mandates and restricted business operations in efforts to curb transmission, the Republican governor declined to effect orders stipulating public use of face coverings and largely shied away from regulating business activity.
“We never focused on the case numbers. Instead, we kept our eye on hospital capacity,” said Noem during Saturday’s speech at CPAC. “Now Dr. Fauci, he told me that on my worst day, I’d have 10,000 patients in the hospital. On our worst day, we had a little over 600. Now, I don’t know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is wrong a lot.”
Data recently updated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that South Dakota recorded the country’s eighth-highest number of COVID-19 deaths per capita over the past seven days, behind New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Arizona and Connecticut. Its seven-day increase in confirmed cases, per 100,000 residents, came second only to North Dakota, which reported fewer fatalities last week as it has, overall, throughout the pandemic.

Fauci acknowledged that COVID-19 numbers are declining across the country at the end of February, following a marked surge around the holiday season. However, he stressed that continued compliance with safety measures is necessary to further the downward trend, especially given the emergence of variant strains.
“Go back and look, historically, at what happened when we tried to open up the economy and open up the country,” he said. “And we saw a variable degree of adherence to the public health measures by different governors and different mayors. And what did happen? [The curve] went like this and then went right back up when we had yet again another surge.”
Noem defended her stance on COVID-19 mitigation, which calls on residents to exercise personal responsibility rather than abide by state mandates, during a later appearance on Face the Nation Sunday.

“You indicated that I ignored medical advice, I didn’t listen to my health experts, and I most certainly did,” she said, addressing Fauci’s earlier comments. “In South Dakota, we took this virus very seriously. What I did, though, was tell my people the truth. I gave them personal responsibility over decisions for their families’ public health, but I also gave them the flexibility they needed to keep their businesses open, take care of their employees and their customers.”

Mike Lindell, the founder and CEO of the MyPillow bedding company, spoke about coronavirus conspiracy theories with the Right Side Broadcasting News (RSBN), a conservative pro-Trump YouTube channel, at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Sunday.
In a video posted to Twitter by Bloomberg reporter William Turton, Lindell is shown sitting in a booth at the conference beside Right Side Broadcasting host Liz Willis.
At the beginning of the clip, Lindell claims that people who have not contracted COVID-19 are being diagnosed with the virus for nefarious reasons.
“You stub your toe, and they say ‘Oh, you’ve got COVID!” Lindell said.
However, before the CEO continued, he was interrupted by Willis.
“We do have to be super careful,” said Willis. “Due to YouTube’s guidelines, we will get our whole platform shut down if we talk about the vaccines.”

During his interview with Right Side Broadcasting, Lindell also mentioned that the prime minister of Israel is “making the whole country” take the COVID-19 vaccine.
“What do you care what someone else does,” Lindell said. “This is our bodies. This is ‘mark of the beast’ stuff.”
Lindell previously referred to the COVID-19 vaccine as the “mark of the beast”— a prophet mentioned in chapter 13, verse 18 of the biblical Book of Revelations—during a February 6 appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast.
“Now it’s this ‘one World Order,’ this stuff is in Revelations, you know that’s what I was talking about, and you combine that with this vaccine, that’s ‘mark of the beast’ stuff,” Lindell said. “I mean, this is horrible, keeping us indoors.”
The biblical verse has been interpreted in different ways throughout history.
Some Christians believe that the mark refers to a tattoo or branding marker that anti-Christians will impose on the world for the purpose of control. Other Christians believe that the mark symbolically means allegiance to a non-religious government.

Lindell has also been a vocal proponent of election fraud conspiracy theories. An ally of former President Donald Trump, he has repeatedly claimed that Dominion Voting Systems, the company behind the voting machines used in the 2020 election, helped influence the election in favor of President Joe Biden.
Several stores, including Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl’s, and Wayfair, among others, have stopped carrying MyPillow. Twitter has also banned the company and its CEO from the platform.
David Hogg, a Parkland High School shooting survivor and March for Our Lives Founder, announced a “progressive” pillow company on February 4 as a direct rival to Lindell’s pillow line.
Newsweek reached out to Lindell through MyPillow, but didn’t hear back in time for publication.

The award of a new government contract to data analytics provider Palantir on the back of its involvement in the NHS Covid-19 information store has actually provoked Open Democracy into legal action, backed up by an exposure of lobbying activity that pre-dates the pandemic
Media organisations Open Democracy and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism have actually acted in unison to put in question the NHS and the UK state’s broader negotiations with data mining business Palantir.
The Palo Alto-based company was co-founded by leading Silicon Valley venture capitalist Peter Thiel in2003 And although its co-founder and CEO, Alex Karp, is a self-described socialist, the company’s client base in the CIA and the FBI has actually made it questionable among civil libertarians.
In March 2020, the NHS verified it was dealing with Palantir, Microsoft and Google to enhance its data analytics efforts and make its battle versus the Covid-19 coronavirus more effective and effective. From that work emerged the NHS Covid-19 Data Shop
NHS England’s web page on the store explains it like this: “The NHS Covid-19 Data Shop rests on a Microsoft Azure platform under contract with NHS England and NHS Improvement. Within that safe cloud processing environment, Palantir (acting under guideline from NHS England) handle their platform which is called Foundry.
” Palantir have actually constructed analytical control panels for gain access to by NHS England and Improvement staff, together with staff in the following organisations working under agreement: Faculty AI, McKinsey and Deloitte. Information which is pseudonymised is only offered to staff working under agreement with the organisations running jointly under the NHSX banner. Palantir does not save the data itself, which stays under the control of the NHS.”
While it was reported, in March 2020, that NHSX and NHS England’s technical groups had built a back-end information store on Microsoft’s cloud platform, Azure, to “bring several data sources into a single, safe location”, it was Palantir Technologies UK that would offer the software application, Palantir Foundry, that makes up the front-end data platform. Palantir Foundry is said to make it possible for disparate data to be cleansed and integrated.
” We’re taking the federal government to court since, right prior to Christmas, they silently provided CIA-backed company [Palantir] a major, long-lasting role in handling our individual health details, and in England’s cherished National Health Service”. Open Democracy
On The Other Hand, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has released an associated story detailing lobbying by Palantir amongst senior NHS executives that pre-dates the coronavirus crisis and reaches back into 2019.
The Open Democracy organisation said, in a statement explaining why it is taking legal action against the federal government: “We’re taking the government to court due to the fact that, right before Christmas, they silently offered this CIA-backed company a major, long-term role in handling our personal health info, and in England’s valued National Health Service.”
On The Other Hand, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has actually exposed that Palantir’s UK boss, Louis Mosley, hosted a dinner participated in by David Prior, chair of NHS England, on 2 July 2019.
As reported by the BBC, the legal case, which is being managed by law office Foxglove on behalf of its client Open Democracy, switches on whether a fresh Data Protection Effect Evaluation is needed for the new contract.
” The government should not use the pandemic as a reason to embed major tech firms like Palantir in the NHS without speaking with the general public, Foxglove director Cori Crider told the BBC.
” The datastore is the biggest swimming pool of patient information in UK history. It’s something to set it up on an emergency situation basis, it’s a various another tune to provide a tech firm like Palantir a long-term function in NHS facilities.”
Sky News pointed out an NHS representative as saying: “The business is a recognized provider to the UK public sector. The NHS finished a Data Protection Effect Evaluation in April 2020, and an upgrade will be released in due course.”
Palantir is not discussing the story.

The NHS has advised Gwyneth Paltrow to stop promoting false information after she suggested that long-Covid is treatable with “intuitive fasting,” herbal cocktails and sees to an “infrared sauna.”
The Goop businesswoman described in her latest blog post that she began her own treatment after capturing Covid-19 and struggling with “long-tail fatigue and brain fog.” She got medical recommendations that “this was a case where the road to healing was going to be longer than normal” so embarked on her own personal solutions.
Paltrow began a “keto and plant-based” diet, fasting up until 11 am every day and after that consuming “great deals of coconut aminos” and sugar-free kombucha and kimchi, she wrote
” I’m doing an infrared sauna as frequently as I can, all in service of healing,” she included, along with advising Goop’s organic non-alcoholic cocktails.
Regardless of declaring she ‘d done her research study, NHS England has actually warned versus her suggestions and advises influencers to stop spreading out misinformation. Teacher Stephen Powis, national medical director for NHS England, stated: “In the last few days I see Gwyneth Paltrow is, unfortunately, experiencing the impacts of Covid.”
” We want her well, however some of the options she’s suggesting are actually not the solutions we ‘d advise in the NHS,” reports the Guardian
He continued: “We need to take long-Covid seriously and use severe science. All influencers who utilize social media have a task of responsibility and a task of care around that.”
” Like the virus, false information brings throughout borders and it alters and it evolves. I think Youtube and other social media platforms have genuine responsibility and opportunity here.”

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the European Union must prepare to vaccinate for new COVID-19 variants over the coming years after EU leaders discussed ways of stepping up innoculations and salvaging businesses, including tourism.
The 27 EU leaders agreed to keep “tight restrictions” on public life and free movement in place as the bloc races against the emergence of new variants that may hamper an economic rebound.
“We have to prepare for a situation where we have to continuously vaccinate for a longer period of time, maybe over years, due to new coronavirus variants, akin to the situation we know from the flu,” Merkel said.
The executive European Commission told the virtual leaders’ gathering that 51.5 million doses of vaccines had so far been delivered to the EU and 29.17 million administered, with about 5% of citizens having had their first dose, according to figures seen by Reuters.
The Commission and EU countries have come under fire for missteps in their joint inoculation programme and a stuttering rollout of shots that has lagged badly behind Israel, Britain and the United States.
Summit chairman Charles Michel said the bloc wanted “more predictability and transparency” from pharmaceutical companies that failed to deliver contracted vaccine volumes, putting at risk the EU’s target of innoculating 70% of its adult population by the end of the summer.
VACCINE CERTIFICATES
After the pandemic killed more than 900,000 people in Europe and thrust it into its worst-ever recession, EU leaders agreed to advance work on vaccine certificates, which southern countries hope will unlock tourism this summer.
But others, including France and Germany, are sceptical. Merkel said technical work on that should be completed by the summer.
As the EU treads a fine line between restrictions to stop the spread of infections and keeping borders open to ensure the smooth flow of goods and services across the single market, Merkel said she did not expect to impose tighter border restrictions on the French Moselle region for now.
Although infection rates are heading down in about 20 EU member states, there are concerns about fresh spikes as the coronavirus variant first detected in Britain spreads rapidly.
The head of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said the British variant was present in 26 of the EU’s 27 countries, the South African variant in 14 and Brazilian in seven nations.
“There is growing COVID fatigue among our citizens… But we should not let up now. Not only does the situation remain serious in many parts of Europe but we must also watch for the new variants that are spreading,” she said.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern ordered New Zealand’s largest city back into lockdown on Saturday as COVID-19 cases continued to be detected in the community.
The latest restrictions in Auckland will last at least seven days and come less than two weeks after a three-day shutdown in the city.
Ardern said a new coronavirus case confirmed on Saturday could not be directly connected to other positive tests over the last two weeks, although a school in South Auckland was a common link.
From Sunday morning the city’s 1.7 million residents must stay at home except for essential shopping and work.
Schools and non-essential shops will close, and entry in and out of the city will be restricted.
The remainder of the country will be under level two restrictions which include limits on the size of public gatherings.
Ardern said there was “cause for concern” that the latest case involved a person who had been infectious for a week but had not been in isolation.
Since the latest outbreak first emerged in a family of three, several people have reported symptoms, with the school in South Auckland the connecting factor.
Ardern blamed the creeping spread of community infection on people not isolating when they should have been.
In the latest case the person visited a doctor on Friday and then went to the gym.
“It’s frustrating,” Ardern said.
Authorities have the ability to take enforcement action against rule breakers but that needed to be balanced with ensuring people with symptoms came forward, the prime minister added.
“We will always weigh up, are we creating an environment where people will be open and honest?” she said.
“We are dealing with young people here and what we ask them to do is share with us their entire lives, and it’s very important that we have a situation where people are able and willing to do that.”
New Zealand has been widely praised for its handling of the pandemic, with just 26 deaths in a population of five million.

Smallest Businesses Can Now Go to Front of Line for PPP Loan Applications in the Next 14 Days.
The White House will give the very smallest businesses a chance to cut in line for pandemic relief loans, announcing Monday that for two weeks the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) will only accept applications from companies with fewer than 20 employees.
The special two-week period, which starts Wednesday, is one of a number of steps meant to make up for past problems with the program, designed for small businesses having financial trouble because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mom-and-pop businesses “got muscled out of the way by bigger companies” when the PPP was first launched last spring, President Joe Biden said in a speech Monday, and this will give a higher priority to those smallest businesses—many of which are owned by minorities—before the latest round of funding ends on March 31.
President Joe Biden on Monday launched changes to the U.S. coronavirus aid program for small businesses to try to reach smaller and minority-owned firms, sole proprietors and those with past criminal records left behind in previous rounds of aid.
His PPP changes here also aim to allow more single-person businesses — sole proprietors, independent contractors, beauticians and others — to get loans. Many of these were excluded previously because the program was geared towards firms with traditional payrolls, or because their business cost deductions limited them to only nominal loan amounts, administration officials said.

The House passed the latest stimulus bill, but what’s in the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package? What happens next and when will people see any money?
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — The Democratically-controlled House approved President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief package early Saturday, a key step for a measure that would provide millions of Americans $1,400 stimulus payments, ramp up vaccine distribution and extend unemployment aid through the summer.
The bill, known as the American Rescue Plan, passed 219-212. No Republicans voted for it, and two Democrats voted against it: Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., and Jared Golden, D-Maine.
The measure now heads to the Senate where it faces a rocky path in the evenly divided chamber.
No Senate Republicans are expected to support the bill, citing its size and scope, so the president will have to count on every one of the 50 Democratic senators — and a tie-breaking 51st vote from Vice President Kamala Harris — to make sure its key pillars remain in the bill.
“It’s a great day for us to take a vote to reduce the spread of this virus…put vaccinations in the arms of the American people, money into the pockets, children into the schools, workers back into their jobs, so that we can go forward,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said before the vote. “I salute President Biden for his American Rescue Plan.”
During brief remarks at the White House Saturday, Biden said he had just called Pelosi and thanked her for her “extraordinary leadership.”
The president said the House vote moved the country “one step closer” to “vaccinating the nation,” putting “$1,400 in the pockets of Americans, extending unemployment benefits, “getting our kids safely back in school,” and “getting state and local governments the money they need.”
He urged the Senate to “take quick action” to approve his relief plan.
“We have no time to waste. If we act now, decisively, quickly and boldly we can finally get ahead of this virus, we can finally get our economy moving again,” he said.
The bill passed by the House would:
Provide most Americans with another direct payment — this time for $1,400. (Republicans have proposed $1,000).
Extend federal bonus to unemployment benefits through August (the current benefit ends in mid-March) and bump up the amount to $400 per week. (Republicans want $300 a week through June).
Send $350 billion to state and local governments whose revenues have declined due to COVID social distancing measures (Republicans oppose any such “bailout”).
Allocate $130 billion to help fully reopen schools and colleges (Republicans are countering with $50 billion).
Allot $30 billion to help renters and landlords weather economic losses (Republicans oppose any amount).
Set aside $50 billion for small-business assistance (Republicans agree).
Appropriate $160 billion for vaccine development, distribution and related needs (Republicans also agree).
Biden and Democrats want the bill passed by mid-March, before the current unemployment insurance benefits provided in an earlier relief package expires.
Republicans have largely lined up in opposition to the plan. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., derided it as a “bloated plan with unrelated policies.”
Though some support some elements of Biden’s proposal, Senate Republicans say the American Rescue Plan includes money for programs with little or no connection to the pandemic’s economic fallout. Chief among them is the $350 billion for states and local governments that GOP lawmakers say is nothing but a “blue state bailout” for jurisdictions that have been poorly managed by Democrats.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, one of the senators behind a $618 billion GOP counterproposal, said she doesn’t expect a single Republican to support the House bill, “even if we’re able to make some beneficial changes.”
“The administration has not indicated a willingness to come down from its $1.9 trillion figure, and that’s a major obstacle,” she said Tuesday.
The House bill also includes a controversial provision to increase the national hourly minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 by 2025 that proponents say is necessary to help the country recover economically but that opponents contend would force businesses to cut back.
Though a Pew Research poll found two-thirds of Americans back a $15 wage, Senate Republicans and at least two Democrats — Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona — oppose such an increase.
But a $15 federal minimum wage won’t make it into the final bill. A key Senate official on Thursday ruled the provision can’t even be included in the COVID package because it doesn’t qualify as a budgetary issue. That ruling makes it ineligible to be considered with the rest of the relief package under a budgetary process known as reconciliation where bills can be enacted with 51 votes instead of needing the 60 votes to overcome a filibuster.
With a minimum wage provision looking unachievable, Senate Democrats are seeking another way to raise hourly wages.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was considering amending the relief package with a provision to penalize large corporations who did not pay their workers at least $15 per hour, according to a senior Democratic aide speaking on condition of anonymity, though the details of the provision were not yet available.
Any change in the Senate to the bill would delay relief because the measure would have to go back to the House.
Even if the minimum wage provision were removed from the bill, Pelosi said Friday the House would “absolutely” be able to pass the bill.
“We have a consensus in our caucus that we’re here to get the job done for the American people,” she said.

The House passed its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill early Saturday, sending the massive proposal to the Senate as Democrats rush to approve more aid before unemployment programs expire.
It is the first major legislative initiative for President Joe Biden. The House approved it in a 219-212 mostly party line vote, as two Democrats joined all Republicans in opposing it.
Senators will start considering the pandemic assistance plan next week. Lawmakers will offer amendments, and the chamber will likely pass a different version of the bill, meaning the House would have to pass the Senate’s plan or the chambers would have to craft a final proposal in a conference committee.
Democrats, who hold narrow majorities in the House and Senate, opted to approve the legislation alone through budget reconciliation rather than hammer out a smaller aid package with Republicans. The process enables a bill to pass with a simple majority in the Senate.
“Now, the bill moves to the United States Senate, where I hope it will receive quick action. We have no time to waste,” Biden said during a briefing on Saturday morning.
“If we act now — decisively, quickly and boldly — we can finally get ahead of this virus,” Biden continued. “We can finally get our economy moving again.”
The House plan includes:
Payments of $1,400 to most individuals, along with the same amount for each dependent. Checks start to phase out at $75,000 in income and go to zero for individuals making $100,000
A $400 per week unemployment supplement through Aug. 29, along with an extension of programs making millions more people eligible for jobless benefits
An expansion of the child tax credit to give families up to $3,600 per child over a year
$20 billion for Covid-19 vaccine distribution and $50 billion for testing and tracing efforts
$350 billion in state, local and tribal government relief
$25 billion for assistance in covering rent payments
$170 billion for K-12 schools and higher education institutions to cover reopening costs and aid to students
A $15 per hour federal minimum wage, which the Senate parliamentarian will not allow in the reconciliation bill on the other side of the Capitol
Democrats have called the bill necessary to speed up vaccinations — a critical step to resuming some level of pre-pandemic life — and sustain households at a time when roughly 19 million people are receiving jobless benefits.
“The time for decisive action is long overdue,”House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Friday night before the vote.“President Biden’s American Rescue Plan is that decisive action.”
Republicans questioned the need for a proposal so large, criticizing in particular the scope of the direct payments, state and local government support and school funding. Earlier Friday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., contended the legislation “isn’t a relief bill” and “fails to deliver for American families.”
The Biden administration and Democratic leaders in Congress said the country faces a bigger risk of doing too little than injecting too much money into the response. Some economists have also questioned the scale of the bill.
Senate Democrats face more challenges in passing the legislation than the House did. While the party can approve the bill on its own, it will need every Democrat to support it in the Senate, which is split 50-50.
Democrats also have to decide how to proceed on minimum-wage policy without losing any support. After the Senate parliamentarian ruled the bill could not include a $15 pay floor under reconciliation rules, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., have looked for a workaround to impose a tax penalty on large corporations that do not pay workers at least $15 an hour.
It is unclear if the proposal would comply with the Senate’s budget restrictions.
Vice President Kamala Harris also appears set against trying to overrule parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, which some progressives have suggested she should do.
Pelosi said earlier Friday that she believes the House will “absolutely” pass the relief bill if it comes back from the Senate without a minimum-wage increase in it. She told reporters that Democrats will try to pass the pay increase through a separate plan if needed.
“We will not rest until we pass the $15 minimum wage,” she said.
The House approved President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief package on a 219-212 vote early Saturday morning, sending it to the Senate for a possible rewrite before it gets to Biden’s desk.
The big picture: The vote was a critical first step for the package, which includes $1,400 cash payments for many Americans, a national vaccination program, ramped-up COVID testing and contact tracing, state and local funding and money to help schools reopen.
Two Democrats — Reps. Jared Golden (Maine) and Kurt Schrader (Ore.) — joined Republicans in voting against the bill.
What to watch: The bill will likely undergo an overhaul in the upper chamber after the Senate parliamentarian ruled the $15 minimum wage increase cannot be added in the relief package.
The House kept the minimum wage increase in its plan, but that was mainly to keep progressive Democrats on board before it gets stripped out in the Senate.
At a press conference Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders insisted they weren’t worried that progressive Democrats might not vote for a final bill with the Senate’s changes.
“There is uniform support for this transformational legislation in the House Democratic caucus. There is no fair to partly cloudy view” of the package, said caucus chair Hakeem Jeffries.
The highlights of the bill:
Expanded federal funding for COVID programs, including $46 billion for testing and tracing; $7.6 billion for pandemic response atcommunity health centers; $5.2 billion to support research, development and manufacturing of vaccines, therapeutics and other medical products; and $7.7 billion to expand the public health care workforce.
$1,400 stimulus payments for Americans making less than $75,000. Individuals who make between $75,000 and $100,000 wouldreceive less, with a cap for those earning more than $100,000.
$128.6 billion to help K-12 schools reopen.
$350 billion in state and local aid.
$25 billion in aid to restaurants and other food and drinking establishments.
$19 billion in emergency rental assistance.
$7.25 billion in funds for Paycheck Protection Program loans.
Unemployment benefits would be extended until August 29, and the supplemental benefits would increase from $300 to $400.
