The Senate has not passed a Republican proposal for a reduced stimulus bill, and Washington is unlikely to be able to reach an agreement before the election to get more help against viruses.

President Trump has pushed the reopening of schools and universities before a crusade to Michigan. “We need to watch Big 10 football,” he said at an afternoon press conference.
The coronavirus would arguably be more productive known for its brutal screening of the elderly, but a new study of hospitalized patients calls for situations where the idea that other young people are immune.
The Harvard study letter found that of 3,222 young adults hospitalized for Covid-19, 88 died, or about 2. 7%. One in five needed intensive care and one in 10 needed a ventilator to breathe.
Of those who survived, 99 patients, or 3%, may simply not be discharged from the hospital to the home and transferred to services for ongoing care or rehabilitation.
The study “states that Covid-19 is a deadly disease in others of all ages,” dr. Mitchell Katz, deputy editor of JAMA Internal Medicine, wrote in an adjunct editorial.
“Social distancing, face blankets, and other approaches to prevent transmission are in both young adults and the elderly,” he says.
Nearly 60% of younger patients hospitalized with Covid-19 were men, and a similar percentage of age were black or Hispanic. Men were more likely to want a fan than women and more likely to die. Extreme obesity and high blood pressure were more common. also related to a greater threat of mechanical ventilation or death.
The study, which was peer-reviewed and published Wednesday in JAMA Internal Medicine, evaluated young adults discharged from more than 400 hospitals in the United States between April 1 and June 30. Overall, just over a third were obese and a quarter incredibly obese. one in five had diabetes and about one in seven had maximum blood pressure.
The research leader, Dr. Scott D. Solomon, a professor of medicine at Harvard, noted that despite the accumulation of coronavirus cases among other young people, the proportion of other people who get so sick that they require hospitalization remains low.
At the same time, he said, some will become seriously ill and blacks and Hispanics are overrepresented among them.
“We communicate a lot about how other young people can pass the disease on to others who are more vulnerable; however, we must argue that some other young people, not a massive number for those who are inflamed, however, a limited number have serious problems. consequences of this disease, ” said Dr. Solomon.
Those with chronic fitness disorders are at increased risk, although some without obvious vulnerability are also seriously ill, he said.
“There are points we don’t perceive that they disclose to others about this disease,” Dr Solomon said. “They can be genetic, they can be environmental, they may be the other viruses that have been reported to us in our lives. it’s a random nature here.
And researchers know very little about the long-term consequences for recovering adults. “What effects are they going to have for weeks, months or even years?”Dr. Solomon asked.
Senate Republicans failed Thursday to advance their very small stimulus package amid opposition from Democrats who called the measure inadequate, pointing to the decrease in the chances of Congress taking some other economic recovery step to deal with pandemic victims before the November election.
After months of struggling to trump deep internal divisions over the scope of some other bailout, Republicans presented a front almost attached to their new plan, while Democrats opposed each other en masse, denying him the 60 votes he would have needed to move on. The result was never in doubt and Republicans held the vote largely to blame Democrats for the lack of progress in a compromise.
52-47 votes basically along partisan lines, with Democrats uniformly in opposition and a Republican, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, joining them to prevent the move from moving forward.
“They can tell American families that they care more about politics than helping them,” majority leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said of Democrats. “The senators who advance will vote yes. They will vote to move this procedure forward so that they can do it is a bipartisan product and creates a law for the American people.
The plan, which Republicans called their bill “weak,” cut billions of dollars from their original $1 trillion proposal filed in July. It included federal assistance for the unemployed, small businesses, and vaccine development.
But Democrats, who refused to settle for a proposal of less than $2. 2 trillion, argued that they had done little to deal with the economic devastation of the pandemic. It did not come with a set of stimulus controls for taxpayers or help state and local governments. facing monetary ruin, omissions that reduced the overall value of the law in an effort to appease tax conservatives. And while it would have revived the weekly federal unemployment benefits that expired in late July, he set them at $300, part of the original amount.
Democrats are pushing to repair the full paycheck.
“This bill isn’t going to be made because it’s so emaciated, so full of poisonous pills, it’s designed to fail,” said Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, minority leader in the Senate. “It’s not enough. It’s absolutely inappropriate. “
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who played a prominent role in negotiations with Democrats on a stimulus package, questioned Wednesday the option of reaching an agreement, saying he is not sure there is another possibility.
“We’ll see, ” said Mr. Mnuchin. It’s for a lot of people. “
The federal government will end its coronavirus symptom detection policy next week at 15 designated airports across the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, it will no longer be transported to those airports from Monday.
The C. D. C. stated that, instead, the federal government would devote resources to another – and indistrict – set of procedures, adding “health education” before and after flights, “disease response” at airports, and “potential testing. “
In a statement, the C. D. C. stated that aptitude tests, which referred to temperature controls and interviews on imaginable symptoms of coronavirus, were no longer an effective means of detecting infections in the “current phase of the pandemic. “
“We now have a greater understanding of Covid-19 transmission, indicating that symptom-based screening is limited in use because other people with Covid-19 may have no symptoms or fever at screening, or only mild symptoms,” the company said. Wrote.
A federal official familiar with policy replacement said some other detail would also be removed from fitness checks at U. S. airports. USA: Collecting tactile data in case a passenger was exposed to the virus on a flight, but the official said the CDCcan collects airline passenger data to assist local fitness facilities in their contact search efforts.
Airlines for America, an industry organization representing major airlines, said Thursday that it is the policy change. “We continue to spend limited detection resources where they can be used more productively and, given the incredibly small number of passengers known through the CDC as having a potential fitness problem, agree that it no longer makes sense to continue detection at those airports,” said Katherine Estep, the organization’s spokesperson.
Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security instituted the policy for travelers to the spaces of the world devastated by the virus, adding China and much of Europe, where the maximum of the first outbreaks in the United States was in the United States. passengers will be examined at 15 major metropolitan airports, in addition to Chicago O’Hare, Washington Dulles and Newark Liberty International.
In the days following the ban by the President of Europe, workers at thirteen designated airports, a number that was then more than 15, rushed to implement the new medical examinations, creating confusion at the country’s airports. European country and readers who can enter the United States, adding those with symptoms of physical illness, said the screening procedure was lax or non-existent.
Many countries have strict control measures, which require evidence of negative control before access or arrival. Passengers traveling to China take a check five days before boarding their flight at designated facilities through Chinese embassies and consulates. Hong Kong has implemented immediate control at its airports for travelers from spaces it considers high risk.
Several European countries, including Greece, Italy and France, require evidence of negative evidence from some countries upon arrival. The UK has also imposed a two-week quarantine era for arrivals from several countries, adding the US.
