It's actually kind of morbidly hilarious to watch what is trying to get pushed in as part of "Coronavrius Response".

Steve Mnuchin wants to get rid of Dodd-Frank
The Peace Corps is using it as justification to fire 7300 volunteers.
Texas is using it as justifications to semi-outlaw abortions (no abortions are currently allowed unless the mother's life is in danger)
The Justice Department wants to do away with that pesky "Habeus Corpus" stuff and just hold people indefinitely without trial or charge

The winner for the most flagrant abuse of power, however, has to be Israel, where Netanyahu used the crisis as pretext to shut down the country's justice system (in one of those wacky coincidences that seem to pop up when stuff like this happens, he did so a couple days before he was to appear to face on charges of corruption). One of his appointees has refused to convene the Knesset to pass new legislation (in another of the aforementioned wacky coincidences, one of the bills up for consideration was one that would prevent any individual that is charged with a crime from serving as Prime Minister) and is now defying a Supreme Court order that says that he must allow the votes to proceed, including those that would potentially replace him.
