Congress Passed Relief Bill Before Pandemic Started

On January 3, 2020, H.R. 748 was introduced in the House of Representatives. That bill stated that the short title is as follows:

"This Act may be cited as the 'Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act' or the 'CARES Act'."

H.R.748 116th Congress (2019-2020) –

The problem is that when that bill was introduced there were no coronavirus cases reported in the United States. Indeed, it was not until January 20, 2020, that the first alleged confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported in the United States.
