HARRISBURG â Gov. Tom Wolf said Tuesday that a COVID relief bill passed by Congress will bring needed help but that the federal government must do more.
âWe should celebrate the aid this bill has secured, but we need to continue advocating for the additional support Pennsylvanians â and all Americans â need during these difficult times,â Wolf said.
âNine months passed between the CARES Act and this second COVID-19 relief package. For our congressional leaders, I have one plea: do not let your constituents suffer for another nine months without the additional aid they desperately need,â he said.
The $900 billion COVID relief package, unveiled Monday afternoon, sped through the House and Senate in a matter of hours. The Senate cleared the package by a 92-6 vote after the House approved it by another lopsided vote, 359-53. The bill awaits President Donald Trumpâs signature.

Every measure on state ballots this month to expand or legalize cannabis passed, often by a huge margin. This confirmed the continuing and growing acceptance of cannabis among Americans. Already in the vast majority of US states, cannabis is legal, in one form or another.
To pharmaceutical executives like myself, cannabis is neither avant garde nor scientifically controversial. The research and development of cannabis medicine squarely falls into the sphere of traditional pharmacology where more than about 80% of pharmaceuticals currently on the market are derived from natural (plant, fauna, marine, etc.) sources. In fact, cannabis medicine should arguably be the gold standard in legitimizing and integrating ancient plant medicine into modern medical applications how many other medications are rooted in the history of literally centuries of documented medical use?
