It gives companies a liability pass on their employees contracting COVID in the workplace. Bad idea. It provides $450 a week for 8 weeks in UI benefits, then goes up to $600. Ds will never go for the $450 and Rs will never go for the $600.
Id say its DOA except for the fact that it wont even arrive.
