President Donald Trump signed a nearly $500 billion interim coronavirus bill into law Friday that includes more money for the small-business loan program, hospitals and testing.
The bill includes more than $320 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, created by the CARES Act, which was passed late last month and provides forgivable loans to small businesses that keep their employees on the payroll.
Meanwhile, experts ripped Trump's idea of injecting disinfectant as a possible treatment for coronavirus infections. But during the ceremony, Trump walked back his comments from Thursday, saying he was being “sarcastic.”
The new legislation comes as the death toll in the U.S. topped 50,000 on Friday, according to NBC News' tally. The global recorded death toll has passed 190,000, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

STRANGE BEING

Ever heard about the guy with 3 legs, 4 feet, 16 toes and 2 sets of functioning male genitals? opera.com Mar 23, 2020 2:14 AM A guy named Francesco Lentini had three legs, four feet, sixteen toes, and two sets of functioning male genitals. He worked for the circus and lived the age of 78. Francesco Lentini was born in 1889 in Sirocusa Italy. He was one of twelve children; technically, 12 and a half children as Frank was born with a parasitic twin attached to his body. The partially-absorbed twin has a leg and genitals attached to Frank’s spine. Thus, in total, he had three legs, four feet, sixteen toes and two sets of functioning male genitals. To complicate his life further, all of Frank’s legs were of different lengths. At first, his parents refused to acknowledge him so Frank was raised by his aunt who, meaning well, enrolled him in a home for disabled children. While there, the young Lentini, saw children worse off than he. While he learned to walk, run, jump and ...

Man beat up his wife, inserted hand in her private part to remove fetus for refusing abortion. Wonders will never seize to reign. I wonder why some people are so mean. Some people have blunt thinking horizons. How can a husband take laws into his own hands to beat up his wife just because of pregnancy. Babies are gifts from God and are not artificially acquired. If babies are artificially acquired, people who are unable to give birth to babies would have acquired theirs. You can now see the irony of life. Some people have been crying all day to get a child anyhow but cannot get. Some people married for years and have suffered to have at least a child of their own but could not get. So many marriages broke down due to the woman inability to conceive and produce babies. Most or some of the domestic violence you hear sometimes may arise as a result of mothers-in-law interference due to inability of daughters - in-law to conceive and give them grandchildren. They become angry with their...
