Home Depot (HD, $158.80) shortens store hours on COVID-19 threat

Home Depot  said it would be shortening its operating hours amid the coronavirus outbreak. 

The home improvement retail chain will close stores daily at 6 p.m. ,starting Thursday, March 19.  Opening hours would remain unchanged.

According to the company, the adjusted hours will allow the staff more time to restock, and also do the necessary cleaning to combat the coronavirus risks.

From this week, Home Depot will offer all hourly full-time workers an additional 80 hours of paid sick or personal time. Part-time hourly workers will receive an additional 40 hours of paid sick or personal leave. If an employee contracts Covid-19 or is advised to self-quarantine due to exposure, the employee will continue to be paid during time off. 

"Our customers rely on us for urgent repairs, products, and materials, and we've always been committed to serving them during times of crisis and natural disaster," said Craig Menear, chairman, president and chief executive, in a statement.

You’ve set up your bitcoin wallet and have acquired some bitcoins, and now you’re ready to use them – what’s next?But be VERY careful to double- or triple-check that the address is correct – crypto transactions are irreversible, and a typo almost certainly means permanently losing the bitcoins you were trying to send. One way to avoid potential slip-ups is to scan a QR code (when available) for the destination address.
Mainstream acceptance has come in fits and starts, with regulatory approval proving hard to come by for a variety of reasons – not least of which the ever-present risk of theft via hacking or other means, which pose an especially large obstacle to attracting investment from mainstream institutions. Because crypto holdings are only accessible via a specific private key, they are susceptible to loss – literally, if the key is written on a piece of paper or a physical hard drive, methods of offline ‘cold storage’ – or through hacks if held in an online wallet.Reuters reports that over $800 million in crypto assets were stolen in the first half of 2018, creating justifiable concern for both owners and mainstream financial institutions alike. Some type of insurance coverage would potentially mitigate the risks inherent to owning crypto assets – if insurers are willing to play ball.
Paper wallets are extremely useful tools – beyond being one of the most popular and secure cold storage methods, they make it simple to transfer coins between owners.You can access the funds on your paper wallet by “sweeping” (or importing) them to either a live wallet (like Trezor or Exodus) or an exchange service (like Coinbase). Most services allow you to import them directly from your wallet’s private key, but there are two key exceptions.
