It is as simple as this:
Democrats are trying to solve the Health Problem in a Health Crisis...
Republicans were looking to provide Corporate Welfare program with no oversight of $500bn.
McConnell just introduced his bill with any negotiations, I pretty sure congress writes the laws especially around money...
So both sides asked for extra things... Pelosi's a far smaller ticket items compared to the Mitch's insane no oversight request.
By the way the Airline business is asking for $56bn (and getting it), they spent 96% of the tax cut on stock buy backs. That was there cash in hand.
Some of these corporates have spent there spare cash on buy backs and dividends and now they have no money for this crisis. So they just want to stick the hand out for taxpayers money.
Also if this is all so urgent why did Mitch take a three day weekend last weekend and spend it talking to Judges:

McConnell encourages older judges to retire so Trump can pick successors: Report - Washington Examiner
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is reportedly encouraging older federal judges in private to step down, which would allow President Trump to nominate their successors.McConnell, 78, has made filing judicial vacancies one of the priorities of the Trump administration with the Senate...www.washingtonexaminer.com
Sorry but no one is falling for this.
What's wrong with folks retiring? BTW, Trump has a superb record of picking judges rated as "Tremendous".
OTOH, his predecessor's choices were rated mostly as "Pathetic"
