    The bill that the House passed last night only guarantees paid coronavirus sick leave to ~20 percent of American workers. I repeat: Most workers still aren't guaranteed paid sick leave.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/opinion/coronavirus-pelosi-sick-leave.html …

        Republicans insisted on an exemption for companies with more than 500 employees, and Democrats caved. McDonald’s, Amazon, and pretty much any other company that you’ve ever heard of — THEY ARE EXEMPTED. And that loophole includes 54 percent of all workers.

        The bill also lets the Trump administration provide exemptions to employers with less than 50 workers. That’s another 26 percent of the workforce -- 80 percent total.

        Pelosi said workers will now get sick leave. Pence said, “If you are sick, stay home. You’re not going to miss a pay check.” But that’s not true. That’s what this legislation should do, but that’s not what it actually does.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/opinion/coronavirus-pelosi-sick-leave.html …

        Paying sick workers to stay home is one of the most important things the government can do to slow the spread of the coronavirus. This bill is being sold as meeting that need. Democrats and Republicans are saying it. And they are not telling the truth.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/opinion/coronavirus-pelosi-sick-leave.html …

        it covers everyone they care about. The remaining 80% are thrown under the bus.

        That makes no sense. The larger companies are the ones who can afford it?
