Prices are going up for some of the cheapest and most popular at-home COVID-19 test kits.

Walmart is raising the price to about $20 a box and Kroger now sells them for $24.

The CDC released new guidelines urging people regardless of their vaccination status to avoid taking a cruise.

But despite the warning, hundreds of passengers boarded the Disney Dream on Monday ready for a four-night cruise sailing out of Port Canaveral.

Many passengers said theyre willing to take their chances.

Disney and many other cruise lines require all passengers to be vaccinated.

Toyota passed General Motors as the top-selling car company in the U.S. last year.

A change driven largely by a global computer-chip shortage.

Sales were up about 10% compared with 2020.

By contrast, GM reported a nearly 13% slide in the result as the semiconductor shortage took a bigger toll on its manufacturing operations and left dealers with fewer vehicles to sell.

Kentucky U.S. Senator Rand Paul is quitting youtube.

Paul said he is ditching big tech over what he describes as rampant censorship

He said when he posts videos that challenge the current White House narrative on COVID-19 Youtube deletes them, no matter how well his opinion is sourced and researched.

The late Betty White is being honored with a new social media challenge.

The idea is that on Jan. 17, which would have been Whites 100th birthday, people should pick a local animal shelter and donate $5 in Whites name.

White was a lifelong animal lover. Some shelters said theyve already received thousands of dollars from the challenge.
