Asian Americans facing historic unemployment during pandemic

Hong Kong (CNN Business)It’s not just on the streets, and it’s not just in America. Asians around the world are experiencing discrimination, and many of them say this is happening at work.

From being explicitly harassed by colleagues to seemingly minor transgressions, such as getting excluded from business activities, people can experience bias in various ways at the workplace.
During the pandemic, some Asian-owned businesses have also been vandalized or hit especially hard, in part due to suspected prejudice. And in the United States, Asian Americans have faced historic unemployment, with workers in the community disproportionately affected by the jobs crisis.

We want to hear how the recent surge in anti-Asian hate has affected you personally over the past year. Have you, or your loved ones, felt targeted or excluded at work, or while looking for work?

At least two more Washington Nationals players test positive for COVID-19

While it's opening day for most teams in Major League Baseball, the Washington Nationals don't know when they'll be able to start their season.

After having their season opener postponed due to one player testing positive for COVID-19 and four other team members quarantined for being in close contact, general manager Mike Rizzo announced Thursday afternoon that two additional players have tested positive – and another is "likely positive."

As a result of the outbreak, Rizzo said he isn't sure when the Nationals will be cleared to play their first game. As of now, he said everyone on the team is in "Mike Rizzo mandatedquarantine."

The Nationals had a scheduled off day Friday in their series with the New York Mets, but it was reported that the teams wouldn't open the season until Saturday at the earliest.

Of the three players who have tested positive for coronavirus, Mike Rizzo says that one had a fever and two others are asymptomatic at this time.

When asked when the Nationals may have an idea of when their next game will be, Rizzo said he is not sure yet.

Caterpillar: "It's the premier infrastructure play … CAT's real good."

Tesla: "The only reason Tesla's not going up is because it's up so much, but look I agree with you [on] Tesla and I think that one of the reasons why the growth stocks stopped going up is because Tesla stopped going up, but you know what, it's a reason to own it."

Canaan: "I do bless speculation, but that one, no. I'm not a goer there. Stick with Taiwan. Go with Taiwan Semi. You don't need those guys."
