Popular Toys May Be Harder To Get This Holiday Season

Description

If you're shopping for children this holiday season, you may want to get it done early. According to Business Insider, hot toys may be harder to find this year. Although retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Target have expanded their toys section following the closure of Toys-R-Us, a toy executive says that it may not be enough. Isaac Larian, CEO of toy company MGA Entertainment, says that shoppers have only started to feel the pain of Toys R Us' absence. To ensure that they were all stocked up for holidays, he says that Toy R Us would buy more toys earlier and later in the season than other retailers often do. He explains, "Toys R Us, they were not afraid to buy merchandise in December because they could spread it to January, February, March, April... But that's not the situation with the other mass merchants." Retailers like Amazon, Target and Walmart are more than just a toy store, so their focus shifts. He says that even with their expanded toy offerings, it doesn't compare to Toy-R-Us's stock.

16 US States Break Heartbreaking Record For COVID-19 Hospitalizations

16 states across the US broke a grim record on Friday, reporting their highest total of people hospitalized for COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Business Insider reports that since last fall, cases of COVID-19 have surged nationwide, particularly following the end of the holiday season. Alabama, Arkansas, Maryland, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia were hit hardest. Record hospitalizations were also seen this week in Arizona, California, Delaware, and Maine. The US Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for two COVID-19 vaccines at the end of 2020. However, a slow rollout means it will be many months before all who want a vaccination are immunized.
