Senate Republicans cool to 2nd round of stimulus checks, direct deposits

WASHINGTON — Democrats want another round of direct stimulus payments to Americans up to $1,200 as coronavirus cases rise in dozens of states. President Donald Trump isn’t ruling it out. But Senate Republicans are on the fence or opposed, complicating its prospects.

“I wasn’t supportive of the first round. I don’t think I’d be supportive of the second,” said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. “This is not a classic recession that requires financial stimulus.”

House Democrats have passed a $3 trillion bill that includes another round of direct deposits and checks. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has endorsed that bill nudged Senate Republicans on Thursday to “get off their hands and finally work with Democrats to quickly provide additional federal fiscal relief.”

Senate Majority Whip Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said Republicans are divided on whether to send more money to Americans when asked about Trump’s interest in a second round of payments.

“About direct payments or some of the checks — that’s something he’s talked about, and some of our members are interested in that as well. There are some of our members who aren’t interested in that, so we’ll see where that goes,” the South Dakota Republican said.

Thune said Republicans would still need to agree “on a number” and other components of it.

The Senate left on Thursday for a two-week recess.

Coronavirus cases have risen in states like Florida, Texas, Arizona and California — numerous states have paused or rolled back their reopening. The state of the economy over those two weeks is likely to impact the Senate Republican calculus.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., outlined three broad priorities for the next coronavirus relief bill: “Kids, jobs and health care.” He said he wants it to pass before August, which leaves just two weeks to act once the Senate returns from break on July 20.

Asked by Fox Business Network if he favors another round of direct payments, Trump said, “I do. I support it. But it has to be done properly.” He then segued to discussing unemployment insurance.

Asked again if he wants more direct payments, Trump responded, “I want the money getting to people to be larger so they can spend it,” before saying he doesn’t want it to be “an incentive not to go to work,” an apparent reference to the $600 weekly jobless benefit in the CARES Act that Republicans don’t want to extend.

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said the “direct stimulus checks are going to depend on how the economy is doing” and noted the “great unemployment numbers” of June, when the rate fell to 11.1 percent.

“So if it turns out the economy is recovering, that’s a good thing and direct stimulus checks may not be necessary,” he added.

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said the Senate will “talk seriously and in earnest when we get back” about what might be in the next relief bill, mentioning the rising debt as a concern for the GOP.

“If there is another bill, it will be targeted,” Kennedy said. “Hopefully, we’ll learn from our first three bills in terms of what works and what doesn’t. The subtext, or the undercurrent, here at least on my side of the aisle is the fact that we owe $25 trillion and climbing.”

The first round of stimulus payments cost $293 billion, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Surveys show they’re popular among voters as the Nov. 3 general election nears. A CNBC/Change Research poll conducted in early May found 74 percent approval for sustained direct payments in the 2020 battleground states of Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

A FT-Peterson US Economic Monitor poll showed that 76 percent of Americans say an additional payment is “very” or “somewhat” important to them, while 24 percent said it was not. The results were nearly identical when limited to battleground states.

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who faces a competitive re-election battle this fall, was noncommittal when asked about another round of stimulus checks and direct deposits.

“We need to look at it, the jobs numbers. I want to see Iowa and how we’re doing at getting folks back to work. And we’ll take it from there,” she told NBC News.

Drivers reminded to check MOT status as normal testing resumes

Drivers are being reminded to check their car’s MOT status after the government said all testing must return to normal on 1 August.

After the country went into lockdown, ministers immediately suspended the requirement for motorists to take their vehicle for it annual MOT inspection.

Instead all cars, vans and motorbikes with an MOT due to expire between 30 March and 31 July had the deadline by which they needed a new one extended by six months.


To confuse motorists checking the expiry date for their car, the extension was only added a week before the original expiry date.

That means if your car’s MOT was due to expire on 20 July, it will still show that date until until about 13 July at which point it will updated to 20 January 2021.

Those who are unsure of their vehicle’s status can check its expiry date using the Check-mot.service.gov.uk website.

For MOTs due on or after 1 August, the government has said the original deadline will stand and no further extension will be added.

Only vehicles three years and older require the annual safety and emissions inspection.

It you take your car to be MOTed after the original expiry, but before the extended date, it cannot be driven if it fails. It can only be driven again once it has passed another test.

Lee Griffin of price comparison website GoCompare said drivers who used the extension to knowingly drive a car with safety defects could still be prosecuted.

“Drivers are responsible for their cars’ condition and they are expected to carry out regular safety checks to ensure that it is safe and roadworthy,” he said.

“We are urging drivers not to ignore any dashboard warning lights and, if they have any concerns about the condition of their car to take it to be repaired. Garages have been classified as essential businesses so are open for repairs, MOTs and routine servicing.”

European Parliament e-voting app ‘not a solution,’ vice president says

MEP Marcel Kolaja is a member of the Pirate Party and vice president for ICT policy | Fred Marvaux/European Union

New ‘iVote’ app requires MEPs to create Apple account and share data in order to cast ballots.

Members of the European Parliament have in recent weeks started using a new app to make electronic votes in committee meetings, but one of the institution’s vice presidents said the tool stops members from freely casting their votes.

Several committees started casting votes using an application called iVote, but it only works on Apple devices such as iPads and iPhones and requires MEPs to sign up with Apple and share personal data with the firm, said Marcel Kolaja, a member of the Pirate Party and vice president for ICT policy.

Kolaja, who is part of the Greens group in Parliament, said he and colleagues refused to cast votes using the app because they objected to the U.S. technology giant’s terms of service and the company’s data policy.

“The right to exercise your mandate can’t be dependent on agreeing to the terms of service of a private company,” Kolaja said.

“We shouldn’t create information systems that are dependent on one particular proprietary vendor. That’s not a solution,” he added.

Parliament’s services are working on a more user-friendly, quicker version of the print-and-scan ballots for committee meetings.

The iVote application has been used to cast votes in committee meetings, which often involve long, complex voting procedures. A spokesperson for the European Parliament said “this temporary solution allows the processing of complex votes involving numerous amendments and compromise amendments … and secret votes.”

The application, which was developed in-house by the Parliament, has so far been used in four committees, and “other committees are planning to use it,” the spokesperson said.

An internal Parliament note, obtained by digital rights blog Netzpolitik, said the application was “specifically conceived to handle votes in committees,” but that “in the current circumstances, we simply do not have the time to port it to other platforms.”

“Being logged in to iCloud is a technical necessity to be able to submit ballots via the Apple cloud,” the note said, adding that “just logging in to vote with iVote does not per se share any data with Apple which was not already shared when creating the Apple ID.”

For plenary sessions, Parliament chiefs agreed on a voting procedure via email at the start of the lockdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic. MEPs forced to stay home cast ballots by printing voting sheets, filling them in, signing , scanning and emailing them to the Parliament’s secretariat.

The system — while incredibly cumbersome — allowed MEPs to verify their votes to prevent fraud or mistakes.

“We have taken a huge step forward in modern forms of work. We are the only parliament in Europe that has offered its members to vote digitally and ensured that it was able to work even when members could not travel,” Manfred Weber, president of the Parliament’s largest group, the European People’s Party, told POLITICO’s Brussels Playbook this week — calling it  “a great achievement” both for the administration and MEPs.

But that system was replaced in several committees by the iVote application as they started plowing through work that was left untouched during the height of the pandemic crisis.

“It is unquestionable that the solution [used in plenary sessions] isn’t perfect,” said Kolaja, adding that MEPs often have to cast votes on hundreds of amendments for every bill. “This is the problem. Another question is what is the solution,” he added.

Parliament’s services are working on a more user-friendly, quicker version of the print-and-scan ballots for committee meetings in the coming weeks, Kolaja said. But he said this wouldn’t be in use before MEPs return from summer break.

Praise and tributes for CMO’s Covid-19 role

Major contribution of CMO to dealing with public health crisis widely acknowledged

Praise and tributes have been paid universally to the major role played by Dr Tony Holohan, the Chief Medical Officer (CMO), in dealing with the Covid-19 crisis, following his announcement to temporarily take time out to be with his family.

His announcement comes in the wake of months of a gruelling schedule of heading the National Public Health Emergency Team as part of the public health drive to tackle the Covid-19 crisis.

He stated that he had spoken to the Taoiseach, the Minister for Health and colleagues about his decision. They had offered their support and best wishes.

Calm, methodical, reassuring, evidence-based throughout the crisis is how former Taoiseach and now Tánaiste, Dr Leo Varadkar, has described Dr Holohan’s contribution as a public health doctor who made a huge difference in uniting the country throughout.

The CMO spoke at the press briefing last night (Thursday, July 2) about his wife, Emer’s illness, and his wish to give his energy, attention and all of his time to her and their teenage children.

Deputy CMO Dr Ronan Glynn, who has worked with Dr Holohan throughout the pandemic, has been appointed Acting CMO and will chair briefings in future.

England Drops Its Quarantine for Most Visitors, but Not Those From the U.S.

England Drops Its Quarantine for Most Visitors, but Not Those From the U.S.

LONDON — England will drop its mandatory 14-day quarantine for visitors from more than 50 countries but leave the restrictions in place for travelers coming from the United States, deepening the isolation of America and delivering another rebuke to President Trump for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

The European Union recently upheld a ban on travelers from the United States, even as it opened its borders to visitors from Canada, Rwanda, Thailand and 15 other countries. England’s policy, announced on Friday, is not as draconian: Visitors from America can still enter the country so long as they agree to isolate themselves for two weeks.

But those from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and dozens of other countries will be able to travel to England with no restrictions — an arrangement intended to bolster the languishing tourism industry in time for the summer vacation season. The regulations will take effect on July 10.

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland apply their own travel policies and may not follow England’s lead in easing restrictions.

The United States has barred most visitors from Britain since March, after briefly exempting them from a travel ban on the European Union. At the time, Europe was dealing with far more coronavirus infections than the United States. Since then, the epicenter of the pandemic has moved across the Atlantic.

During the initial phase of the outbreak, Britain stayed open to travel from viral hot spots like Italy, Spain and Iran. By the time it imposed the quarantine measures, its infection rates were among the highest in the world.

That prompted fierce criticism of a policy that placed restrictions on people arriving from countries where the virus was well under control, including New Zealand. The authorities threatened to fine rule breakers up to £1,000 ($1,245).

Critics said the measures were economically damaging, ineffective and legally unenforceable because the country did not have the resources to ensure that people were obeying their 14-day quarantine. Of the 12 police forces that replied to questions from the BBC, none said they had handed out any fines.

Some public-health experts said the fractious debate over the quarantine had distracted from more pressing problems, like safely reopening Britain’s schools, organizing an effective test-and-trace program and organizing a system to stamp out new outbreaks in cities like Leicester to avert a second lockdown.

“The U.K. government seems focused on giving people a summer pandemic holiday instead of dealing with the hard issues facing the aviation industry for the coming year,” said Professor Devi Sridhar, the director of the global health governance program at the University of Edinburgh.

Scotland has balked at the easing, much as it resisted Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s earlier plans to lift the lockdown. Its infection and death rates are lower than in England, which officials attribute to its more cautious approach. The Scottish government has yet to decide how to relax restrictions on travelers, though its options are somewhat limited, given its open border with England.

Grant Shapps, the transport secretary, told the BBC on Friday that the United States would be excluded from the immediate relaxation because of the “very high numbers of infections” in the country.

The government has designated countries with green, yellow and red lights, based on “the prevalence of coronavirus, the numbers of new cases and potential trajectory of the disease in that destination.” The United States has a red light.

The announcement appeared to go further than an earlier idea floated by ministers to create “air bridges” with specific countries, in which travelers would have reciprocal freedom to travel. The government still hopes that a number of the exempted countries will not require visitors from Britain to quarantine.

But the list of greenlight countries comprises more than 50 — among them Vietnam and Hong Kong, though not mainland China. Some could still require travelers from Britain to quarantine on arrival. On the British end, many arriving passengers will still be required to provide contact information.

Still, for the travel industry, it was a welcome relief after a tense period when they worried that the summer season was going to be ruined. Many complained about the damage to their businesses and warned about job losses.

“It has been an incredibly frustrating time,” said Steven Freudmann, the chairman of the Institute of Travel and Tourism, a lobbying group. “There just appears to be no coordinated thinking. A shambles is the only word I can think of.”

Mr. Freudmann said he was “happy and relieved that finally — finally — the government seems to be making sensible decisions.” But he said the government’s erratic policies had “created a lack of confidence and clearly we, as an industry, have a job in establishing that confidence.”

Among those who flouted the existing travel restrictions was the father of Mr. Johnson, Stanley Johnson. The elder Mr. Johnson, 79, posted pictures on social media of his arrival in Greece, which currently prevents vacationers from flying directly from Britain. He apparently got there via the Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

It was not the first time he had defied government coronavirus advice: Before Britain’s lockdown began, when the prime minister urged Britons not to go to the pub, his father said he would go anyway if he felt the thirst.

Speaking from Greece, Stanley Johnson told the Daily Mail newspaper that he was in the country on “essential business, trying to Covid-proof my property in view of the upcoming letting season.”

Hundreds of thousands more could die from coronavirus in Latin America

Hundreds of thousands more could die from coronavirus in Latin America

By October 1, that number could increase by more than 300,000.

That was the headline at this week’s press briefing by the Pan American Health Organization, citing modeling by the University of Washington that predicts more than 438,000 total deaths across the region through the end of September. That means, on average, nearly 3,500 people could die of the virus every day between now and then.

The model’s creators say they assumed countries in the projection will follow social distancing guidelines. And if prevention measures weaken, deaths could be even higher.

Big populations, big problems

The eight most populous countries in Latin America and the Caribbean — Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Chile and Ecuador — make up more than 82% of the region’s population.

So, it’s not surprising that these countries are driving the exponential growth in both coronavirus cases and deaths.

Of the region’s 33 total countries, these eight countries make up 94% of total cases and 96% of total deaths.

Brazil is far and away the single worst offender. Its recorded cases and deaths — 1,496,858 and 61,884, respectively, as of Thursday — keep climbing. Its seven-day moving average of newly confirmed cases is as high as it’s ever been. Reporting more than 40,000 new cases in a day is no longer unusual.

Despite that, the economy has begun to substantively reopen in many parts of the country where it had been previously shut down. In Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, bars and restaurants were allowed to open at 50% capacity.

In Mexico, the reopening of the economy has also taken center stage. In Mexico City, by far the hardest hit part of the country, patrons enjoyed cocktails and appetizers at restaurants this week for the first time since March 23. Hotels, salons and markets are now allowed to open as well.

This despite the fact the death toll stands at 21,189 as of Thursday evening. That death toll is roughly double what it was one month ago and is now higher than Spain’s.

The actual deaths due to the virus are likely even greater. In an interview with the Washington Post, Mexico’s Undersecretary of Health Hugo López-Gatell said a soon-to-be-published government report suggests there were three times as many deaths in Mexico City from March through May as would be expected in a normal year. He told the paper that of those extra deaths, “…it’s probable that the majority are covid.”

Smaller countries in the region have generally fared much better in containing their outbreaks. Uruguay and Paraguay have less than 50 deaths combined. Belize has only recorded 28 total cases since the outbreak began.

But health officials are concerned about some of the other smaller countries like Costa Rica, which has seen its case total more than double in the last month. The Pan American Health Organization says new cases there may not peak until October.

The broad toll of the outbreak

The economic outlook in Latin America and the Caribbean were not great before the pandemic arrived. It’s gotten so much worse since.

The International Monetary Fund predicts the combined GDP in the region and the Caribbean will shrink by 9.4% in 2020. That is four points worse than its prediction from April and would be the worst such recession since record keeping began.

Even countries that were largely spared the worst of the pandemic’s health effects won’t be able to avoid the consequences.

Many island nations in the Caribbean have limited case numbers but will see massive hits to their economies as tourism, the lifeblood for many of them, drops precipitously.

Perhaps unsurprisingly then, Latin America and the Caribbean could see record unemployment numbers as a result of the pandemic. More than 41 million people could be unemployed in 2020, according to a new report from the International Labor Organization, a nearly 60% rise over 2019.

Some of those unemployed will come from the airline industry, with the region’s carriers among the worst hit in the world.

Mexican carrier Aeromexico filed for bankruptcy this week, the third airline in the region to do so since the outbreak began, joining LatAm Airlines and Avianca Airlines.

And from the economy to the environment, Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research recorded more fires in the Amazon this June than any previous June since 2007.

Forest fires might not seem directly connected to a deadly virus. But environmental activists have warned that illegal loggers and ranchers have taken advantage of limited official resources during the pandemic, burning large swaths of forest for financial gain.

Signs of hope

Peru and Chile have recorded the sixth and seventh most confirmed cases of the virus worldwide, with a combined total of nearly 600,000.

But after months of grim news, both countries sounded a more hopeful tone this week.

In Chile, Wednesday marked the lowest single-day rise in new cases since May 19. The country’s seven-day average has also dropped significantly since its peak on June 21.

“On a national level, the data are good,” said Chile’s Health Minister Enrique Paris. “The country still has a fever, but the fever is much lower,” he continued, referring to the improving number of infections.

On Thursday, Peru marked its sixth consecutive day when the number of people discharged from hospitals was higher than the number of new cases.

Peru’s Health Ministry said in a statement that Thursday was “…one of its best dates in the fight against the pandemic.”

What to Cook This Weekend

Good morning. There’s a little convenience store attached to the gas station down the street from where I stay and, if you get there early enough, just after the sun makes its appearance in the eastern sky, it’s possible to obtain one of the six or seven egg sandwiches the cashier makes every morning before unlocking the door. They sit on a shelf by the register, in front of a new plexiglass shield, hot in their foil jackets, soft and salty within, a $4 treat on a day that won’t yield many of them.

I think of these sandwiches in the way people used to think of off-menu secret burgers or fried chicken sandwiches or bowls of pho at luxe restaurants in Manhattan, available only at certain times, in extremely limited numbers, for those in the know. The cashier does good work on the electric griddle in the back of the store. There’s a thrill to securing one of her sandwiches, which tastes all the more delicious for the difficulty in obtaining it.

Lately, I’ve been making them at home, myself, a no-recipe breakfast recipe worth trying out: warmed but untoasted Kaiser rolls spread with salted butter, with an egg over easy, a few slices of cheese, a spray of black pepper and a dab of ketchup. I wrap the sandwich in foil while I’m making tea and reading the front page of the newspaper. By the time I’m ready to turn to the jumps of the stories, the thing has come together into a steaming warm whole, a perfect sandwich for one of those days you want to start with a savory balm.

On other days, though, and perhaps especially on the weekend, what I crave is sweet. Dorie Greenspan has a fantastic new recipe right in that lane, for a big, flaky blueberry scone she learned from the restaurateur Joanne Chang, to delight the senses and concentrate the mind.

“Those of us who bake through challenges as well as celebrations know the comfort of the craft,” she wrote for The Times this week. “We know that when everything is spinning wildly, we can count on butter, flour, sugar and eggs. We can transform them. We can make something satisfying, and we can share it. For so many of us, baking is a respite and often a refuge.”

What a nice thing to do on a long weekend, no? You could make a flag cake to celebrate the national holiday! Or a peach upside-down cake. A summer berry buckle (above) or Atlantic Beach pie. Watch the hours fly by and deliver deliciousness and delight.

Other things to cook for the holiday or this weekend just because: barbecue chicken; lemon potato salad with mint; grilled romaine; the chef Millie Peartree’s macaroni and cheese; jerk chicken with pickled bananas; lalla mussa dal; Jamie Oliver’s vegetarian black bean burgers; vegan queso and chips.

Explore a little! Many thousands more recipes to cook this weekend await you on NYT Cooking, along with tools to help you sort and organize them. (Did you know you can save recipes from other websites to your recipe box? Here’s how.) If you haven’t already, I hope you will consider subscribing to our site and apps so that you can access all that we have. Your subscriptions support our work.

We are standing by to help if anything goes wrong along the way, either with your cooking or our technology. Just write: cookingcare@nytimes.com. We will get back to you.

Now, it’s a far cry from grapes and all-purpose flour, but you should read Justice B. Hill in The Undefeated, writing about Oscar Charleston, the brightest star of the inaugural season of the Negro Leagues, 100 years ago this year.

Joe Coscarelli’s “Diary of a Song,” in The Times, is one of my favorite new story forms in modern journalism. For this one, he dives into “Big Drip” by Fivio Foreign, a Brooklyn drill anthem that’s a good candidate for New York’s song of the summer.

Here’s the TikTok star Tabitha Brown, “TikTok’s Mom,” who recently “visited” NYT Cooking via video.

Finally, here’s Dwight Garner on “The Lehman Trilogy,” by Stefano Massini, translated by Richard Dixon. A 700-page play about the rise and fall of Lehman Brothers? I’ve got the time. Let’s go! See you on Sunday.
