WASHINGTON - The US House of Representatives was set on Friday to debate and vote on a US$3 trillion Democratic Bill aimed at easing the human and economic toll of a coronavirus pandemic that has killed 85,000 Americans and shut down much of the economy.

If passed, it would double the amount of spending Congress has authorised since March to fight the coronavirus. Republican leaders in Congress have said more time is needed to gauge the effectiveness of the US$3 trillion in aid already enacted into law. Democrats argued Americans desperately need the relief."I don't give a damn about sending a message. I want to send help to those in desperate need," said Representative James McGovern, citing long lines at food pantries around the country.
