In the last three weeks, more than 16 million Americans have applied for unemployment benefits.
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., warned Thursday night that the economic ramifications of the coronavirus outbreak could lead the U.S. into a depression.
To help people financially survive this period, Pelosi said,"That is why we have to get the system really energized and working. Let's get out those unemployment checks. Let's get out those direct payments. Let's get these loans freed up, let the banks be the friends to this whole system that they are."
Pelosi acknowledged that everyone wants to return to work and reenter society again, but she warned that that can't happen until officials assess how widespread the disease is across the country.
