Raised minimum wage helps the people who are still currently working. Same day voter registration, along with mail in ballot requirements and early voting, helps restore faith in our democracy, especially when people are fearing how upcoming primaries are going to happen. And the arts is getting slammed, for obvious reasons. Grants to help those institutions is important to make sure they don't go under (as much as grants to airlines or cruise ships).

All of these things are appropriate for an economic stimulus. The bill is supposed to be a shot of adrenaline to the economy, not merely just give money to only those specifically affected so far by Covid 19. That's part of it, but it's far more than that.
