Trump Preparing Second, Economic Coronavirus Task Force

From the story: President Trump is preparing to announce as soon as this week a second, smaller coronavirus task force aimed specifically at combating the economic ramifications of the virus and focused on reopening the nation’s economy, according to four people familiar with the plans (Washington Post).  

Hopefully it does not include the environmentalists’ dream of a carbon dioxide tax (Red State).  

Meanwhile, a look at how much money Americans didn’t lose in sports betting, including $8.5 billion for March Madness (Newsweek).  

From Mitch McConnell yesterday: Tomorrow morning, I’ll ask unanimous consent to pass standalone emergency funding for the hugely popular Paycheck Protection Program that is saving small-business jobs as we speak. As the rest of the CARES Act continues to come online, this key part is already low on funds (Twitter).
