The money would pay for a multifaceted attack on a virus that continues to spread, threatening major disruptions in the U.S. and across the globe. The plan allocates more than triple the $2.5 billion amount outlined by the White House 10 days ago, a proposal that was immediately discarded by members of Congress from both parties.

We need to keep doing everything possible to stop this spread of the disease but we also shouldn’t give in to panic or hysteria, we should be driven by facts or medical science.”
