I first heard $1000, but some people around here are saying $4500 is being considered. I wonder where such a big discrepancy came from. That's a lot of money difference, especially multiplied over the population.
Hopefully somebody does something.

There will probably be a lot of misinformation being spread around about the money in terms of amount, who gets it and how. We will need to wait and see how it all plays out.
There was a one time benefit paid out to either disabled social security recipients or disabled veterans (I don't remember which) about twenty years ago by the Bush administration, in which some people received approx. $6,000.
EDIT: I re-watched the Presidential address and $1,000. was specifically mentioned, but it was seemingly a figure that could be interpreted as an example of what is being considered. When posed a question as to 'how much' an individual will receive specifically by a reporter, no one at the podium responded with a clear answer.

I've been watching all the addresses I can. I'm particularly worried due to my kidney and respiratory troubles, both of which were mentioned as risk factors in one of those speeches.
"...no one at the podium responded with a clear answer."
Surprise surprise. At first I was a bit encouraged by that farcical head of state's solemnity and deference to experts in the face of crisis. Now it's evolving in a more racist direction, using rhetoric that refers to the pandemic as a war and so forth. Negligence, scapegoating and fearmongering from elected officials is always dangerous, but especially now.
At least they aren't denying the science of virology I suppose...
