150 members of the Saudi royal family have coronavirus: report

Up to 150 members of Saudi Arabia’s royal family have contracted the coronavirus, a person close to the family told the New York Times.

Riyadh Governor Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulziz al Saud, a nephew of King Salman, was confirmed to have tested positive by two doctors, according to the Times. Many of the thousands of princes in the family are believed to have brought back the virus after traveling to Europe, the newspaper reported, citing doctors and people close to the family.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and many of his ministers are in isolation on the coast of the Red Sea, while the nation’s 84-year-old King Salman is also in isolation near the city of Jeddah, according to the newspaper.

Dems block McConnell bid to swiftly approve $250B more for small business fund

With lawmakers home and social distancing, McConnell sought to pass the cash infusion swiftly Thursday by unanimous consent with a skeleton group of senators, but Democrats blocked the effort because they want add-ons to help businesses in disadvantaged communities and an additional $250 billion in funds for other priorities.

The disarray at the Capitol leaves small business owners in the balance as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin warns the popular program is on track to be depleted as struggling businesses rush to apply for aid.

The Paycheck Protection Program helps businesses with under 500 employees apply for loans to cover eight weeks of their payroll, benefit and rent expenses.

The loans will be converted to grants and fully forgiven if 75 percent of the loan is used to keep employees on the payroll. The program was created as part of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act passed last month,

McConnell said at least $100 billion in loans for small businesses – roughly 30 percent of the fund – has already been approved under the program since it started accepting applications April 3.

McConnell accused Democrats of trying to hold paychecks "hostage" and blasted them for trying to push programs that have "zero" chance of passing the House and Senate.
