-Monopoly Market has banned the sale of fake COVID-19 cures and vaccines. -Other dark web sites still list purported coronavirus remedies in exchange for crypto. -Currently, there is no legitimate vaccine for COVID-19.

Why Amazon and Instacart workers are striking - Marketplace
Workers at an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island, New York, plan to strike Monday around 12:30 p.m. They're demanding the facility be shut down and cleaned, and protesting the retail giant's decision to keep it open after one staffer there tested positive for COVID-19.

PHOENIX — The coronavirus has hit the restaurant industry hard during one of the busiest times of year here in the Valley. Instead of shutting down completely, some local spots are getting innovative while still serving the community.
Just a couple of weeks ago, EVO in Scottsdale would have been busy during the dinner hour, serving dozens of guests. But now, owner Nick Neuman said they've completely changed their model to stay open.
"(Guests) have their groceries already ordered online, paid online," Neuman said. "Then they show up, pop their trunk, food gets put in the back of their car and they can take off."
