The USPS has lost at least $2.7 bln every year since 2007. The problem isn& #39;t corona; the problem is demand for mail has changed radically in 15 years while USPS hasn& #39;t. Any cash infusion must be conditioned on structural reforms that Congress has been punting on for 10+ years.

The structural deficit at USPS is so large that structural change is necessary. The best option is mail delivery goes to 3 days/week. Half the country gets delivery MWF, half on TThS. Package delivery would remain daily. It reflects how we use mail today & would save >$10 bln/yr.
