At least 43,587 people in the U.S. have died from coronavirus-related illness
Waters, 81, is the chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee.
"I'm going to take a moment to dedicate this legislation to my dear sister who is dying in a hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, right now, infected by the coronavirus," Waters said — in a video posted by The Hill — in front of her fellow congressmen, lowering her face mask so that she could be heard. "This legislation provides $370 billion in funding for small businesses as well as $100 bllion for hospitals and coronavirus testing. I'm pleased that we have been able to set aside $60 billion for our nation's community development, financial institutions, minority depository institutions, community banks, credit unions, certified development companies and micro lenders to directly lend to their small business customers, who are often minority owned businesses.
