Even after two weeks of negotiations, the parties have failed to come close to a deal on a coronavirus aid package that both sides deem critical for helping the nation cope with the continued outbreak.

- For businesses struggling to reopen even with numerous restrictions being placed on them.
- For an end to the coronavirus, and an economic rebound.
