Nancy Pelosi said she wants to bring lawmakers back in two weeks after an extended coronavirus-related recess
“We’re 430 members, the decision was made on the strength of our numbers and people coming together,” Pelosi said Thursday when asked about McConnell’s decision.

A House Appropriations subcommittee has scheduled an in-person hearing with hopes of having the government’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, testify. Pelosi said Thursday some other “smaller” committees might also meet, if members were able to maintain proper social distancing.
