Challenges with testing and logistics, clashes between federal and state officials and even hospitals' fears of being stigmatized as a source of infection — all cost valuable time in detecting the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S., reports NPR's Lauren Sommer.
The federal government has re-started the Paycheck Protection Program, which gives loans to small businesses. Lawmakers required some of the money to go community banks this time around.
Also, the CDC recognizes new symptoms of the coronavirus.
Meanwhile, Italy will start reopening the country next week. The country has suffered high death rates, second only to the U.S., and it was the first western nation to lock down.
Plus, one of the top-grossing movie theaters in the country this past week was the Ocala Drive-In in Ocala, Florida.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Bitcoin vs. QE Infinity and the 4 Archetypes of the Halving Debate
The bitcoin halving is just two weeks away. While the COVID-19 crisis pushed attention off the momentous event for a while, the discussion is coming back fast and strong. Google searches for the bitcoin halving already exceeding the 2016 peak, despite almost no mainstream media coverage.
In this episode, NLW breaks down 4 archetypes of people within the larger debates around the bitcoin halving:
- Speculators - those who flock to Twitter to engage in endless rounds of debate around the efficient market hypothesis and whether the halving is priced in or not
- Fundamentals - those who believe that what matters about the halving isn’t the short-term price movement but the fundamental decrease in supply
- Miners - those who have to actually figure out how to make their business model work in the context of reduced issuance
- Symbologists - those who are focusing on the significance of bitcoin’s issuance reduction coinciding with QE infinity

The Intelligence from The Economist - End transmission: covid-19 in New Zealand
The country is aiming for complete elimination of the coronavirus; so far, so good. But renewed freedom within its borders requires that virtually no one cross them. Restrictions in Europe on movement of agricultural labour could leave crops to rot in the fields. And why cologne is the hand-sanitiser of choice in Turkey.
