A record deal: White House and Congressional leaders worked into the early hours of Wednesday morning to strike a deal on a $2 trillion stimulus package to give the US economy a much needed respite from the dire effects of the coronavirus pandemic and the measures enacted to limit its spread. More than 52,000 people have been infected with the virus throughout the country.

Larry Kudlow, President Donald Trump's chief economic adviser, called the package "the single largest main street assistance program in the history of the United States" at a White House briefing on Tuesday.

In the past 24 hours, the elements of the proposal have come into sharper focus -- $250 billion will be set aside for direct payments to individuals and families, $350 billion in small business loans, $250 billion in unemployment insurance benefits and $500 billion in loans for distressed companies.

Ordered indoors: The stimulus comes as more than half the population of the United States has been put under travel restrictions to stop the spread of the coronavirus. At least 15 states and 30 municipalities have ordered more than 166 million people, or 51% of the US population to stay home, according to data compiled by CNN using US Census population estimates.

At least two additional states and five municipalities will have orders going into effect later this week. When those take effect, more than 180 million people -- 55% of the US population -- will be impacted.

Billions at home as borders shut: It's not just the US -- 2.5 billion people worldwide are under coronavirus-related movement restrictions. Countries worldwide are asking citizens who do not work in "essential services" to stay at home unless absolutely necessary.

The most audacious of all these stay-at-home orders is likely in India, which has asked the majority of its 1.3 billion population to stay home for 21 days.

Antipodean isolation: Australia and New Zealand are hoping that recently enacted travel restrictions combined with their geography -- specifically that they have no land borders with other countries -- will help them combat the spread of the virus.
