I don't think It's a wise choice to purchase takeout.
You never know who may have the virus- chef, delivery guy etc.

This is true. But that has also been possible for the last month, and people were still going out to restaurants as of yesterday. Good health and hygiene standards could allow takeout to be virus free. But there is still a big risk. This is true of grocery stores too, of course.

Definitely. A lot of people are getting paid holiday or being forced to stay home. People are also using Everclear to make hand sanitizer.
Tons of alcohol companies are currently retrofitting their operations to make hand sanitizer. Hopefully people aren't drinking themselves silly at parties with all of that alcohol. It just makes the virus spread easier.
In fact, I think some genius in my neighborhood is about to throw a party right now.

Drinking in excess definitely compromises your immune system. Just takes one person that has it.

Honestly your best bet is to invest in blue chip companies like google, amazon, yada yada as they will recover. Its only a question of how long it takes.
I wouldnt bother with short term company gains just focus on investing for at least a year or two.

Idk much about dating sites or apps, but I imagine our lovely hook up culture is suffering right now so plenty of people might be on there setting up things. Maybe subscription-based ones will have a nice boom.

Not the company I work for, that's for sure.
We were told yesterday that operations may stop and many workers will lose their jobs.
Not to worry, more time on the net for me.

I believe BioMedical companies will prosper from this epidemic.
