BREAKING: Dr. Fauci is warning Trump officials NOT to listen to growing push among WH advisers, GOP lawmakers to restart the economy

But Trump is alarmed by stock market & impact of high unemployment for 2020 election -- & weighing easing restrictions

washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
GOP Senators, WH advisers are urging an easing of restrictions b/c of the economic impact

More than 30K in US have already tested positive & public health officials say we need *more* restrictions, not fewer

w/ @jdawsey1 @yabutaleb7 @WPJohnWagner

Here's Stephen Moore, who has been leading this charge:
Harvard epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch: “Now is the time to tighten restrictions on contacts that could transmit the virus, not loosen them ... If we let up now we can be virtually certain that health care will be overwhelmed in many if not all parts of the country."

State of play on emergency aid/"bailouts" for big firms:

- WH & GOP want $50B 4 airlines

- They also want $150B for other hard hit industries

- WH has said it wants to help hotels & cruises

- Treasury would get authority to decide where the $150B goes

washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020…
Talk today on the Hill and K Street that the $150 billion is likely to go up in the final package, given the devastating and widespread economic toll

washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020…
Here's the section-by-section summary. Also worth noting the part that says there can be no grants or direct cash payments:

GOP bill on immediate checks:

-- $1,200 per person ($2,400 if filing jointly)
-- $500 per kid
-- Begins to phase out above $75K
-- Phases out completely above $99K
-- Much smaller benefit, of $600, for millions w/o federal tax liability
Also key: whether you qualify depends on your *2018* IRS tax returns. Some experts have asked: What if you made above the threshold then but because of coronavirus make below the threshold now?

washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
Another key point: GOP legislation only calls for a onetime check, rather than recurring checks for the duration of the crisis as in Bennett/Brown/Booker (D) plan)

Sen. Grassley statement suggests they could revisit if necessary

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
