   WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on
   Thursday that he expects Senate
   appropriators to produce funding legislation within the next two weeks
   to fight the spread of coronavirus in the United States.
   McConnell, speaking on the Senate floor, said he has faith that
   bipartisan discussions on the Senate Appropriations
   Committee would agree on "the right sum ... at this time to ensure our
   nation's needs are fully funded."
   "I hope they can work expeditiously so the full Senate would be able to
   take up the legislation within the next two weeks," the Kentucky
   Republican said.
