Assessment

But, is Black Friday good for the [healthcare] economics sector post [thu] the pandemic? Do patients go shopping rather than to the doctor? What about inflation?

Black Friday Hype
The hype around Black Friday was always overwrought, but its beginning to fade, Ad Week reports, and it’s the retailers themselves that are bringing it down.

Earlier Thanksgiving day sales and 24/7 online discounters are eroding the day’s impact, making it a less useful economic barometer.
