United States CARES Act: Relief From Symptoms, Not A Cure

President Trump signed a $2.1 trillion Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) relief bill into law on Friday, March 27. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act represents the third phase of federal government efforts to lend financial support to households, businesses, and state/local governments affected by the outbreak. During the relatively brief period of negotiations around the bill, the size of the support package increased dramatically in tandem with explosive growth in the number of newly confirmed cases, and a cascade of state and local restrictions shuttering schools and businesses across the country. With social distancing guidelines extended until end-April and confirmed cases continuing to grow at a rapid pace, discussions around a fourth package have already commenced.
