It's coming up in just a few coral issues for seeing and 10 and we're thankful you're watching.

STIMULUS is the word in Washington District of Columbia.

The U.

S Congress and the White House have joined the Federal Reserve, the country's central bank, in trying to lessen the economic damage from the Corona virus pandemic.

The big focus here is on a stimulus package, a massive plan of government spending intended to stimulate the U.

S economy.

How massive the Senate deal, which is supported by the Trump administration, is worth $2 trillion.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell described it as a wartime level of investment for America.

Here's what the money would be spent on.

$500 billion would be intended to help big companies get through this Corona virus pandemic.

350 billion would be in loans for small businesses in the hopes it will help them stay in business.

250 billion would be given directly to American taxpayers in the hopes that they'll spend it.

But those payments would only go to individuals who earn less than $99,000 a year, or couples who earn less than 198,000 year.

Hundreds of billions Maur would go to help hospitals.

Americans have lost their jobs and state and local governments.

The agreement would still have to be passed by the U.

S House of Representatives before he goes to President Donald Trump's desk for signature.

So the bill is not finalized, and it's not clear how long that will take.

But the news of it was welcomed on Wall Street.

After setting several records for single day point losses in recent weeks, the Dow Jones industrial average of 30 important stocks set a new record on Tuesday for its biggest ever single point gain.

Will all this shortened and expected recession?

So what's the difference between a recession and a depression?

It comes down to how long the economy contracts.

A recession is typically defined as two negative quarters of economic growth, and as part of the normal business cycle, the U.

S economy has fallen into recession more than 30 times since 18 54.

A depression is something vastly different.

It happens when the economic decline is sustained and might potentially go on for years.

That's only occurred once in American history in 1929 and it lasted 10 years.

Because it lasts so long, a depression is more severe.

A decade ago, unemployment hit 10% during the worst of the great recession.

But during the Great Depression, the jobless rate peaked at nearly 25%.

The reason?

Economists are so worried this time we just don't know how long we'll be fighting this virus.

We don't know how long stores will be shut down.

How long travel will be paused, how much damage will be done to supply chains or how many companies will go bankrupt.

But there is hope if you look to history.

The recession that followed the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic lasted just seven months.

That's much shorter than the average recession.

Let's hope this time.

History repeats As Corona virus spreads, people across the country are stocking up on essentials and one essential in particular toilet paper.

It's sold out in stores across the world and has become the ultimate symbol of panic by there was even a toilet paper robbery in Hong Kong.

But our consumer fears of toilet paper running out grounded in reality?

Not really.

Let's start at the beginning.

Toilet paper is made mostly from tree pulled source from the U.

S and Canada.

Pope has turned into a large rolls of paper called parent roles, which in turn are used to make a variety of paper products.

For paper manufacturers who run on fixed capacity, it's hard to increase production quickly.

One thing they can do is to switch from making a lesson demand product like paper towels to more toilet paper.

But most people are not using toilet paper anymore than normal thing.

Average American uses between half a roll to just over one roll a week.

Let's assume that demand normally remains constant throughout the year.

That means people are stockpiling, and when the panic buying stops, sales could fall as people go through their Stashes.

Many industries, like electronics and pharmaceuticals, have complicated global supply chains facing issues with materials production and shipping.

Because of the Corona virus, the toilet paper industry, with its comparatively simple supply chain, should be ableto whether the virus more than most second trivia, which of these cities has located the farthest self.

Nome, Alaska.

Juneau, Alaska.

Helsinki, Finland.

Or Reykjavik, Iceland.

Of these cities, the Alaskan capital of Juneau is located the largest itself, but it's still far enough north that during the summer, the sun rises before four o'clock A M and sets after 10 o'clock.

PM It is the northernmost U.

S Capitol City.

It's also the biggest U S Capitol in terms of land area.

So with all that extra space and all that extra daylight, don't Juno we're taking a tour of Juneau is part of our new partnership with CNN Travel.

Here's a look at a city named for one of the men who discovered gold there in the 18 eighties.

Nestled along Alaska's Inside Passage, the capital city of Juno sits as the gateway to the last frontier, accessible only by boat or plane.

This city of 30,000 offers visitors the distinctive opportunities of a major city and the remote wilderness among all the destinations in Alaska.

Gino is really unique because the reasons people want to come to a last good to see wildlife wilderness and glaciers and mountains are found right here in our little community, and everything is really close by.

In Juneau, the pristine wilderness is the main attraction.

There are dozens of ways for visitors to get out and enjoy.

All of the natural resource is surrounding the area.

There's opportunity just about anything outdoors.

Whale watching is one of our most popular activities, you know, has one of the most fantastic humpback whale watching opportunities in the state.

Hiking, biking, kayaking.

All of these things are opportunities to interact with the wilderness, which is what we love to do here.

And you know, Juno is situated in the Tongass National Forest, which dominates the surrounding landscape.

You know, the Tongass National Forest is the world's largest remaining temperate rainforest, and with that environment, even though it's spread out over a huge area, there's some really unique elements here that are very accessible in the city of Juno.

The proximity of the forest means visitors contract on glaciers, experience wildlife up close and even do a little mountain climbing.

But don't pull out the ropes and harnesses just yet.

The Mount Roberts Tramway in downtown Juneau can whisk you up to the top of the mountain without breaking a sweat.

One of the great aspects of Juneau is.

Our mountains were surrounded by mountains, so the tram was built, and it is a really wonderful scenic way for people to get up into the mountains, are nearby and have incredible views of the area that surrounds.

You know, if you're not the outdoor type, Juno still has plenty to offer.

The city has lots of shopping in a vibrant art scene that can trace its heritage back centuries.

Part of the uniqueness of Juno's history is that the native culture that Klink it Indians had a beautiful arts culture, and they still have that today and they're developing it.

And I think it inspired a lot of other artists to start looking at how to incorporate the really beautiful natural resource is around Alaska into their art, so you'll see a lot of really beautiful art.

I'm carving Silverwood, and I think a lot of the natural resource is of Gino is what inspires our local artists.

The spirit of the city comes from the surrounding wilderness, but the charm of Juno lies in its people.

You'll see a lot of stores here that are owned by family to have deep roots and you know their families came here with the original founder families and they're connected and people get very attached to, you know, and they support one another, and it makes it creates a really nice, friendly environment for CNN.

I'm Holly Firfer way.

Before we skip out, we're skipping stones.

The Guinness World Record for the most skips where the rock is 88 but it helps if the water is Coleman smooth.

It wasn't on the shores of Lake Michigan when this competition was recorded last summer, and a new record wasn't set.

But a man did manage to skip a stone across the choppy surface 20 times, and for that he received some goblets from the Mackinaw Island Grand Hotel stuff with $200.

Now that's something to marvel at.

The skipper's definitely Worth Hizb assault.

He started with a clean slate, took nothing for granted, got ready for a felled sparring match, utterly published the competition.

Hey, listen, skipping stones.

It's hard.

It's no wonder the winner is a rock star.

Is it any coincidence that the skippers are the mascot of North King's down high school?

Either way, you guys totally rock in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, up Carla's.
