A second, smaller round of stimulus checks are due to most Americans after President Trump signed off on a $900 billion coronavirus relief bill last weekend.
This round will be $600 compared to $1,200 earlier this year. A
bill passed by the House on Monday could increase the payments to $2,000, but it faces an uphill battle in the Senate. If it were to pass, it would be added on top of the $600 payment, as a separate payment. (You’d get another payment of $1,400).

ACROSS AMERICA Coronavirus vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna have been distributed to hospitals across the country, although medical centers in rural America have largely been left out of the process thus far, The Washington Post and others have reported.
But not at MidMichigan Medical Center-Alpena, the most isolated health care center in Michigan s northeastern corner. That s in large part due to Richard Bates, a doctor who has been making the three-hour drive from MidMichigan Medical Center-Midland to bring the Pfizer doses to health care workers there.
