BlackRock’s Fink: Masks are needed to avoid future economic shutdowns

The U.S. reported another record one-day spike in new Coronavirus cases on Thursday as outbreaks continue to worsen across the country, particularly in Texas, Florida and California. A growing number of politicians, health and business experts, including BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, are advocating mask-wearing amid concerns about the possibility of having to shut down the U.S. economy again to contain the spread. Fink also discussed the asset manager’s position on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and how a young generation of America’s workers are being shaped by the crisis. Plus, the Coronavirus continues to affect Netflix, Twitter, cruise companies … and Joe Kernen tries to tell the difference between the Hemsworth brothers.
