Babel Error on start - clean app

Describe the bug

I created a new/clean react app and on first run of the start script with no edits I get a Babel Error. See below for my CLI outout.

$ npx create-react-app price-grid

Initialized a git repository.

Success! Created price-grid at C:\Users\soliver\Documents\react_module_dev\price-grid
Inside that directory, you can run several commands:

  npm start
    Starts the development server.

  npm run build
    Bundles the app into static files for production.

  npm test
    Starts the test runner.

  npm run eject
    Removes this tool and copies build dependencies, configuration files
    and scripts into the app directory. If you do this, you can’t go back!

We suggest that you begin by typing:

  cd price-grid
  npm start

Happy hacking!

Looks like it’s because the npm cache hasn’t been updated yet, it’s a bug in core-js-compat https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/issues/713

should fix itself soon?

[oohwooh]

if you run npm i -D core-js-compat@3.4.7 it should resolve the problem. Worked for me. https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/3864#issuecomment-560541229
