CRUZ: "We've read stories, we've talked to people who've struggled under it. I heard from one individual who is hospitalized right now that breathing felt like a belt strapped across his chest, that he could barely breathe. As of this morning worldwide, there have been 16,381 deaths, so that’s — I’m sorry. That’s the number now. This morning, it was only 15,308. That means today while the Democrats have been blocking this bill, 1,073 additional people died. In the United States, as of this morning, there were 471 deaths reported due to coronavirus. As of right now, it’s 573. That means today, 102 Americans died. While the Democrats were blocking consideration of this bill.”
