The United States has now recorded more than 13 million coronavirus cases. These cases representing around 4% of the country’s total population, according to HuffPost. The milestone means that the U.S. is now adding around 1 million new cases per week. This is an alarming reality as the Christmas and New Year’s holidays approach.

Black Friday 2020 is next week. Business Insider reports that this year's Black Friday is shaping up to be unlike any that came before it. Several retailers are deemphasizing in-store shopping. Many retailers are opting for several, limited-time sales during the lead up to the big day. Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Kohl's, Macy's, Target, The Home Depot, and Walmart are currently offering several early Black Friday deals in stores and online.

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'
