President Trump on Friday signed a nearly half-trillion-dollar coronavirus relief bill that replenishes money for small-business loans to prevent layoffs.
The $484 billion bill is the fourth large coronavirus deal and revives the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, which ran out of funds last week.
The bill also has $75 billion for hospitals and $25 billion for COVID-19 testing.
Trump hailed the bill as “great for small businesses, great for the workers” and said it would “extend relief to thousands of African American and Hispanic American business owners.”

How do COVID-19 patients say goodbye to their families? With an iPad.
Nurse Jenna Greco knows this all too well. As a critical care RN at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York, she is fighting on the front lines — and helping sick patients in the ICU as they FaceTime with loved ones who can’t be there in person.
On top of the heartache, this nurse’s own life is at risk. Because of the PPE shortage, Greco admits that she’s had to use the same face mask for seven shifts straight. “It gets gross. It’s not effective after a certain amount of time,” she told The Post. Watch her emotional interview here.

South Dakota’s governor said her “unconventional” decision to keep the state open during the coronavirus pandemic is working — proving that “we’re much better on offense.”
Gov. Kristi Noem said she does not need the stay-at-home orders issued in most states because she values citizens’ “freedoms and liberties” and believes they will take the right steps without government intervention.
“I trust my people,” she told Breitbart News on Wednesday, conceding it was “unconventional” and “something that would not be widely embraced across the country.”
“I took an oath to uphold our state Constitution,” she said, suggesting other leaders “take too much power in a time of crisis.”

A growing number of recovered coronavirus patients in China continue to test positive for the deadly bug, according to reports.
Doctors in Wuhan, where the outbreak emerged in December, say the patients all tested negative for COVID-19 at some point during their recovery — but then began testing positive again without showing symptoms as much as 70 days after being cleared.
Chinese officials have not released numbers on how many coronavirus patients are part of the phenomenon, but data from Chinese hospitals obtained by Reuters and other media outlets suggest there are at least dozens.

Antibody tests are flooding the market, but only four so far are FDA-approved.
Dr. Mike, a family medicine physician, says we still don't have enough information to be able to confirm whether or not someone is immune to COVID-19 —even if the person has tested positive for and subsequently cleared coronavirus.
Unlike the measles or chicken pox vaccine, which ensure long-lasting immunity, the length of time for COVID-19 immunity is still a big unknown. "There exists an assumption where people think that if they test positive for antibodies, meaning that they have antibodies in their bloodstream, that they're automatically immune to COVID-19. And while that's decent thinking, it's not 100-percent accurate," he explained.
Moving forward, Dr. Mike Varshavski, w...

The smell may be hell but the mist could leave you pissed.
Two Australian doctors are weighing in about the spread of the coronavirus “down under” — whether it can be spread through farts, that is.
During Friday’s episode of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Coronacast” podcast, producer and host Dr. Norman Swan made a cautionary suggestion when it comes to particles of feces set adrift within a fart and the spread of COVID-19.
“No bare-bottom farting,” Swan advised about posterior pandemic panic, in a measured, mildly amused tone.
“Luckily, we wear a mask, which covers our farts all the time,” Swan said, referring to the protective aspects of pants, shorts, dresses, underwear and other garments. “I think that what we should do in terms of social d...
