US prepares for 18-month pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic remains the main news of the day. The disease continues to spread, adversely affecting businesses and households around the world. Over the past two weeks, about 15,000 cases of Covid-19 have been reported in the United States. Experts suggest that pandemia may drag on for a year and a half.

The House of Representatives has already received approval for a $500 billion stimulus package to tackle the pandemic. In addition, Republicans today put forward another $1 trillion aid plan in the Senate.

Under the new bill, the government will pay monthly support to all Americans during the crisis. Many low-income families in the United States have been particularly affected by the outbreak of coronavirus because they cannot go to work and therefore cannot afford to pay bills or buy medicine.
