Walmart has been one of the few companies to do well in the pandemic. Digital sales have nearly doubled from a year ago, and same-store sales have increased 9%. But according to Business Insider, even Walmart CEO Doug McMillon knows that with such widespread unemployment, its a streak of luck can't last forever. Business Insider reports McMillon said on CNBC's 'Squawk Box' on Thursday that Congress needs to pass a second stimulus package--and do it quickly. Since passing the $2.2 trillion CARES Act in March, Congress has done nothing meaningful towards passing a second stimulus package. There are Americans...that don't really care about politics, aren't really tied up in this election and they just need some help. Doug McMillon, Walmart CEO Interview, CNBC's 'Squawk Box'
Both Walmart and Sam's Club are now selling at-home coronavirus tests online. Buying the test is a three-part process, but customers can get their results in as little as 24-48 hours. The 24-48 hour window starts after a lab receives a test, says Business Insider. Walmart has also opened 600 test sites across the country since the beginning of the pandemic. The at-home tests, which start at $99 and go up to $135, vary in their abilities and testing methods. Getting a coronavirus test from the comfort of your own home is now as easy as ordering one.
