Overview

  • Vendors at Chinatown's festive fairs report a 30% drop in sales compared to last year, attributing the decline to more shoppers turning to online stores or going overseas for better deals.
  • Demand for home dialysis services is on the rise, with some providers reporting nearly triple the demand over the past year.
  • This increase in home dialysis services aligns with the national push to enable more seniors to be cared for at home as kidney failure cases increase.
