Summary

The debate over how much individuals should get has been getting a lot of attention, but the covid relief bill recently passed by Congress also includes billions of dollars intended to help businesses. The CARES Act, passed at the beginning of the coronavirus crisis, offered assistance to small businesses, but was criticized because a lot of the money went to big companies and fraudsters. FOX Business contributor and Maxfunds.com co-founder Jonas Ferris discusses how the latest round of relief compares to the first, and if it does more to prevent fraud and help those small businesses that were impacted the most by the pandemic. In the early weeks of the global pandemic, as cases multiplied and hospital beds filled up on several continents, it was clear medical professionals on the frontlines fighting the coronavirus were at high risk due to exposure to infected patients. FOX NEWS Rundown: Evening Edition host Trey Yingst revisits his interview with Dr. Charles Schleien, the Chair of Pediatrics at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, who back in April was recovering from the coronavirus. Dr. Schleien discusses not just his symptoms, but the anxiety that came with getting the virus and how his colleagues in the medical field were trying to stay safe while helping others. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, host of "Fox Across America." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
