I would be interested in opinions on this section
TITLE VI—PANDEMIC AND ALL-HAZARDS PREPAREDNESS AND

It's probably stuff they're going to pass later.

The fat bill was negotiated with Democrats in the Senate.
The new slim bill was not.
Democrats remain in control of the Senate for another 12 days.  They might go along with this slim bill, but I wouldn't count on it. 
Control of the Senate flips on January 1 but Biden remains until January 20.  He might not want to play ball either.

I can understand the Democrats irritation. Last time this was mad one of their own outed the insider trading they were doing. LOL 

However there is A LOT of stuff I cannot see being passed on its own merit. Take a look at that 70 page section for instance. Quite concerning. Re reading it now before posting an opinion.

By the way I am disappointed in the Democrats scare tactics saying SS checks will not got out if they don't get their way. That is completely false along with other departments.
