Senate Punts Stalled Coronavirus Aid
Until Thursday. The Senate on Monday punted any action on a stalled coronavirus relief bill until at least Thursday, after adjourning without taking action. It was the first Senate meeting since Thursday when Democrats and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked dueling proposals to provide additional funding for a small business program that was passed as part of last month’s $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief bill.

May already be starting. Restaurateurs fear they may not be able to reopen after the crisis passes. Restaurants worry that they may not have the money to reopen their restaurants unless they’re able to reach some kind of agreement with their landlords, Bloomberg reports. The restaurateurs’ concerns echo a recent report published by the National Restaurant Association, which predicts that about 12 percent of restaurants surveyed in New York state would close permanently in the next month.

Optimism that coronavirus infection rates may be stabilizing in the U.S.—and starting to decline elsewhere—were tempered over the weekend by rising concerns that moves to ease the lockdowns that have crippled the global economy could spur new outbreaks of the disease, which has claimed more than 114,000 lives world-wide.
