As soon as it is over the diet and beauty industries are going to boom, as people want to lose the weight and disguise their DIY haircuts.

Copy/pasted from the other thread:

Industries likely doing well:
- Home gym equipment (how we laughed at that stupid Peleton commercial. Who's laughing now?)
- Home beauty products (hair dye, do-it-yourself facials, etc.)
- Home office equipment
- Noise-cancelling headphones (so you can all be on ZOOM calls at the same time)
- Cleaning products, TP
- Pharmaceutical and food packaging industries
- Online learning platforms (Coursera, etc.) - newly unemployed people using their downtime to pick up new skills
- Netflix
- Wifi boosters

Industries suffering:
- Pantyhose manufacturers - who needs to wear those hateful things? Nobody sees your legs in a Zoom call!
- Fashion industry
- Movie theaters
- Restaurants
- Anything connected with pro sports (this is huge)
- Event halls, event planners, wedding industry
- Lipstick (why wear it when you've got a facemask on?)
- Cruise ships/airlines/hotels/anything tourism related

These two are great. I certainly think it will be a long time before ANYONE steps foot on a cruise ship again.

- Vaccine development costs so much that the profits are minimal, and right now they are not profiting, each group of researchers has had to work to find donors to support them.
- Egg farmers in Spain have profited from Israel's egg-buying craze Smile
- Bibi is not an industry and not really gaining any personal profit from this
- Amazon, not sure if they are profiting, they have cut a lot of manpower and only time will tell if they gain or lose
- Chocolate you may have a point Smile

Mine:
Shipping/ delivery companies
Companies pivoting to producing face masks
Ventilator/ medical equipment companies
Businesses offering online classes, especially on parenting or marriage
Businesses selling natural remedies or vitamins
Toilet paper manufacturers LOL
Stockholders in relevant products (Zoom, ventilators, Google)
Companies selling cleaning products (Clorox, Sano)
Canned food companies and junk food companies

Banana123, Bibi is a multi million shekel business, or at least, so says a the indictment. Wink I've been saying it all along: he's playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers, and I don't even like him!

The indictment itself has yet to be proven. Mandelblit has his own issues and the indictment was an attempt to undemocratically bring down the right.

Is he playing chess? In that case I want to join him. Chess is a much better game than boring old checkers.

Bibi may not be an "industry" but the joke I was making is that he certainly seems to be benefiting from the corona crisis. Just look at the polls.

Crocs and other slipper companies.
Other shoe companies- not so much. My kids' shoes have never lasted so well!

I wonder if the Knack gets royalties every time someone makes another "My Corona" parody.

Seems to be a blooming cottage industry.

Food. Quarantine makes people hungry.

Electricity. Spend more time at home use more appliances and lights.

Drug companies.

I actually suspect electricity usage dropped. Offices use a lot of electricity, and some manufacturing has slowed.
