Congressional leaders in the House and Senate on Wednesday reached a bipartisan deal on a roughly $8 billion emergency funding bill to fight the coronavirus that has been spreading throughout the United States, according to Democratic and Republican appropriators. The deal would provide $7.8 billion to fight the coronavirus and would include a mandatory funding authorization for $500 million over a 10-year period to be used toward a remote healthcare program. Soon after the agreement's overall framework was released, lawmakers released the 28-page bill. Two Democratic leadership sources told NBC that the House is expected to vote on the deal later in the day. It will need two-thirds of the House to pass it and leadership expects it to pass with bipartisan support.
The bill includes a provision that requires that funds are only used to fight the coronavirus and other infectious diseases as some Democrats feared that the Trump administration could raid the funding and use it for other unrelated purposes. “This should not be about politics; this is about doing our job to protect the American people from a potential pandemic," said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby. "We worked together to craft an aggressive and comprehensive response that provides the resources the experts say they need to combat this crisis. I thank my colleagues for their cooperation and appreciate President Trump’s eagerness to sign this legislation and get the funding out the door without delay.” Democrats said that the package is nearly seven times the amount that Trump had asked Congress to approve. The legislation would provide more than $2 billion to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for public health funding for prevention, preparedness and response. It also would allocate more than $3 billion to a public health emergency fund and the National Institutes of Health for research and development of vaccines, treatment and testing of the coronavirus. The bill would also provide nearly $1.3 billion to help protect the health of Americans living abroad from the coronavirus. A House Democratic aide said that the legislation would provide more than "$300 million to help ensure that, when a vaccine is developed, Americans can receive it regardless of their ability to pay." "The legislation ensures that the federal government will only pay a fair and reasonable price for coronavirus vaccines and drugs and provides HHS the authority to ensure that they are affordable in the commercial market," the aide said. Trump had submitted a $2.5 billion request to Congress to combat the virus, but Democrats quickly said that that amount would be insufficient. Senator Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., responded with an $8.5 billion proposal. Schumer said Tuesday that he expected the final deal to be between $7 billion and $8 billion. The virus has killed at least 10 people in the U.S. and over 3,100 worldwide. As chair of the president’s task force on the virus, Vice President Mike Pence participated Tuesday in the luncheons held by Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans. And top administration officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, testified before a key Senate committee Tuesday morning. Trump said separately at an event in Washington Tuesday morning, "It looks like they're going to give us $8.5 billion," and added, "I think I should say, 'I'll take it.'"

难怪股市涨了这么多。有钱事情就好办。
总结一下最近抗击新冠肺炎改善的措施：
1. 增加断航伊朗，提高日本韩国和意大利的旅游危险等级
2. 增加地方政府和机构的测试权限. 现在除了州级别，大学，私人测试公司下个礼拜开始也可以测试了3. 国会通过为抗击新冠肺炎的资金，远超预期
4. 引入制药产业促进疫苗和药品的研发
需要加强的：
1. 教育各地人民加强自我隔离，尤其是那些有症状的还去party简直就是对自己和他人不负责任2. 保护隐私重要，但是关于死去病患的信息应该更加透明，还有他们的居住城市，好让本地居民可以自我防范
希望更多的措施实行，让这个疫情赶快过去，全球的人民都恢复正常生活和生产。

大天朝可是举全国之力在抗疫，这次对疫情的控制其实也是做给世界各国看的，哪个国家能够首先控制好，迅速翻身，疫情之后小弟们就会跟上来选边站了。
感觉这是两国一种无形的国力比拼的时候到了，政府管理能力，公卫应急能力，医疗补给能力，民众的凝聚力，制造业恢复能力，科学研发能力，国家福利待遇等各方面的综合体现。
中国先输开局，但中盘已基本稳住，就看下盘能不能翻盘。
美国是开场优势明显，现在中盘有点危机，但看下盘能不能守住了。
算了吧，跟的小弟，伊朗，意大利，还有不避嫌的韩国日本，啥下场大家都看到了。一带一路那是一带一路病毒。下次中国再爆发个病毒，who再怎么帮着忽悠站台都没用了。
錢給不給CDC不清楚, 但肯定會給藥廠, 直接刺激疫苗的研究與生產, 此時此刻最最需要的
川普砍了CDC的钱，但是后来他们又要回去了，所以这次不是缺钱，而是故意
还先输开局？要脸不？自己丢了一坨屎到各个国家，然后现在自己擦的半干净了，开始嚷嚷我们要翻盘了？就这还想当大哥？小弟都是你的擦屁股纸还是备用马桶啊
病毒不长眼，跟中国断航的美国一样会波及。
我说的是国家实力，现实一点，现在美国优势还很大，但是要谦虚务实一点，抵御住疫情了可以再次体现强大，而且可以促进制造业回流，这是真的可以make american great again。
你先别开口闭口喷屎就行，美国要都是这样骄傲自大也不能独善其身，病毒会认人吗？病毒会讲政治吗？病毒会管你的经济吗？如果到现在还不认清现实，那就没救了。
这些钱也不是光给CDC的，而且有钱总比没有的好。
光花钱不够的（后来中国在武汉花的钱超过百亿美金），一定要监督。要拿出监督红十字会的精神来监督CDC和有关疫情。政府部门都一个鸟性，懒惰，固守成规还且盲目自大。美国尤其是什么东西都得自己去争取。
打电话给本地的疫情部门，打多了他们才会干事情。
对的，后院着火了，知道情况大不妙。估计以前CDC都捂着不给测。所以现在给Trump这么多钱，让Trump收拾烂摊子。
没办法，人家抓住了你的命根。这些部门很重要但是也是人浮于事。
说真的从另外一个角度也是幸好，要是红州先爆发，民主党可能还要玩点把戏才给钱。
怎么可能。
这次疫情炸出不少隐的很深的老ID。

我也有这种感觉。CDC把事情搞砸了，结果弄到了更多的钱。
戳到你哪个痛处了吗？老ID说的哪句不是大实话，别骄傲自大，病毒不管你是老ID还是新ID，也不会管你五毛还是小粉红还是轮子也不会管你中国还是美国是小弟还是老大，客观一点就事论事有那么难吗？我只希望美国不要爆发，没别的，还盼着川总拯救世界呢！你说你比厉害国强，那要拿出政绩的，不是打打嘴炮的。反正谁抵御住了疫情我就投谁一票，谁办砸了就下台去。
制造业回流已经被上升到国家安全的层面。
真是, 但凡要點臉面的這時候難道不是應該找個地縫鑽進去嗎, 還TM下半場翻盤, 無恥之尤! 人類之癌, 求美國快定點斬首吧!
这就是为什么民主党主动给4倍的钱，因为这些钱是救他们consituient 得命还有他们控制的联邦部门。不然哪有这么好的事情。
还算是有点良心。希望两党在这个非常时期能诚心合作。等疫情过后再继续撕逼。广大美国人民谢谢你们。
应该会慢慢跟上的，我们单位一开始也不紧不慢，现在每天更新信息。
哈哈，继续撕逼。马上他们会撕。
现在就指望药厂资本家开足马力搞出解药和疫苗了…
我不知道… 还要看怎么花吧…… 谨慎观望中 🥺
印度早就下了死命令，所有跟新冠相关的药品和设备，不允许出印度
更好，逼美国自己造。
时间肯定是需要的，倒逼美国的公司思考怎么解决产业链和供应链的问题。短期是负面，长期是好事情。
但这代价也太大了。。。。。美国这些公司真是不吃一次亏不长教训
这个id在大部分帖子里其实还是挺resonable的
和平太久了, 所謂生於憂患死於安樂, 現代人已經忘記了其實戰爭, 饑荒, 瘟疫, 才是人類社會的常態
你说的美国部分我都挺同意的，美国这次再自大，真的是要栽了。但你说中国的部分，我不大认同。中国的措施是很严厉目前看来也很见效，但是这些都不能改变这场灾难里中国政府需要负的责任。
我的观察是，不仅是钱，而是CDC 都disoriented by fund cut and personnel leaving, in a word, in chaos.这个2 billion 几乎就是恢复倒原先的款项。
以前两党中间派都是和而不同，有很多bipartisan合作的。
但是这几年左派往左走，右派往右走，才整天打嘴仗，啥事都干不成
哪里有证据要回去， link?
可悲的是，吃了亏也未必能长记性。
最后还是所有人要为投资人的短期利益埋单。
哟哟哟，居然还真去翻了老ID的大部分帖子呀，这么认真做功课搞背景调查，不如好好想想怎么敦促美国政府卖力防疫干活，别把世界老大哥的颜面给丢掉了。
身在美国，我骂美国政府一定比骂中国政府卖力，为啥？宪法给我的权利。除非你是职业反共，大多数普通百姓首先关心自己身边的事情。
别逗了，中国到现在还在隐瞒真实情况，又迫不及待地嘲笑其他国家不行，以前靠花钱买的那点信誉早被消耗光了，国内经济状况危险，拿什么去跟别国比拼
这次真是，中国政府太过分。病毒泄漏，再隐瞒导致大面积传染，祸害全世界。多少无辜的人死去。
的确以前靠花钱买的那点信誉早被消耗光了。
不知道你哪里来的脸说什么翻盘? 翻盘变成胜利大会师？ 想想那些死去的人，怎么都不能叫翻盘。 因为已经满盘皆输了！ 现在只是减损！
你们这些粉红洗地，洗地自己脑子都掉了，不要脸！
你的意思是CDC干的这些破事儿是因为人员不够。
到底是人员不够，还是已有的人员水平太次？不如把他们参与制作test kits人的相关背景，学历，工作经验好好查查，看看都是什么破烂货。
