Conservative Republicans Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Rick Scott (R-FL) didn't vote yesterday, but the Senate finally passed the Coronavirus bill the House passed 6 days ago.

And then came the U.S. which is not testing anywhere near the other countries-- but still reported 1,609 new cases between Tuesday and Wednesday.
