CVS Health Announces Additional COVID-19 Resources Focused on Patient Access
Mar 09, 2020

"Being committed to the welfare of those we serve means being responsive to evolving needs and acting swiftly. This is particularly true in times of uncertainty," said Troyen Brennan, M.D., M.P.H., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, CVS Health. "The latest steps we're taking will help ensure patients of all ages have every option available to them when it comes to filling prescriptions."

Beginning immediately, CVS Pharmacy will waive charges for home delivery of prescription medications. With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encouraging people at higher risk for COVID-19 complications to stay at home as much as possible, this is a convenient option to avoid coming to the pharmacy for refills or new prescriptions.

Google recommends all North America employees work from home over coronavirus fears
March 10, 2020

The majority of Google’s 100,000-plus employees work in North America, and the policy change represents one of the most sweeping remote-work orders of any company in response to the outbreak of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. (Google’s offices will remain open to accommodate those workers who are able to do their roles from the office only.)

COVID-19 has sickened more than 113,000 people and killed nearly 4,000, and it is causing mounting disruption around the globe – disrupting supply chains and forcing the closure of corporate offices and major events.

Many major US tech companies have instituted remote-work policies for at least some of their employees, including Apple and Facebook. Industry events including Mobile World Congress, Facebook’s F8, and Google I/O have been canceled, and on Friday, the South by Southwest tech and culture festival in Austin, Texas, was also canceled.

3M: Blue-Chip Dividend King Yielding 4%
March 10, 2020

Despite the recent operational challenges presented by weak global economic activity, 3M continues to generate healthy cash flow. To that end, free cash flow for the most recent quarter grew 10% to an all-time record $5.4 billion. The company’s strong free cash flow allows it to continue returning cash to shareholders, including annual dividend increases. While 3M could continue to be weighed down by coronavirus fears in the near-term, it is a strong holding for long-term dividend growth investors.

All Disney Theme Parks, U.S. Universal Studios Closing Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

MARCH 12, 2020

The announcements from Disney and Universal Studios came in quick succession Thursday, not long after California Gov. Gavin Newsom held a press conference to address the state’s prevention and containment efforts. He outlined the new guidance to cancel or postpone gatherings of 250 people or more in California, but noted that he had spoken with Disney executive chairman Bob Iger on Wednesday, and that casinos, card rooms, theaters, and large parks like Disneyland would be exempt from the recommendations due to “the complexity of their unique circumstances.”

“We are fully aligned and continue to work with the U.S. government to contain the spread of COVID-19, inform citizens, and protect the health of our communities,” Google said in a statement on Twitter.

President Donald Trump had thanked Google on Friday for developing a website that he said would help people determine whether they needed a coronavirus test, saying that 1,700 engineers were working on it.
