Not sure if anyone has said it but all porn websites like pornhub and xvideos. Lots of traffic.

Due to people being quarantined or on lock down, they'll be spending more time online, so I agree that services of this nature will benefit to some degree.

I didn't think about this, but car insurance companies are making a killing right now. Omg. Now I'm homebound, should I reach out to mine about changing my mileage or something? I commuted to work/school an hour away

In my area, supermarkets are starting to restock their shelves and although measures are In place to limit purchases per customer, they're still struggling to keep up with demands.
Due to previous panic buying and now supplying to those who've missed out, I believe every supermarket Is making a huge profit.

It's been interesting seeing how the social distancing is being implemented in the stores. Either way, we're still out of toilet paper. I'd be interested to see when our stocks start leveling out again with demand.

Toilet paper, tissues, hand towels and serviettes (napkins) are still nonexistent. However, supermarkets are closing 2 hours earlier each day- with the Intention to replenish stock. Other Items, are slowly making their way back on shelves.

I think all of the pharmacy companies will earn tons of money from it.

Interestingly, ours started doing that. Then, they started having dedicated hours in the morning for elderly and key workers. Now there is security outside ensuring it's 1 in, 1 out of stores, with 2 meters of distance between everyone queuing. They're also asking if we're NHS/Key Workers and allowing us to jump the queue if so.
When you finally get in the store, it's actually really pleasant. Plenty of social distancing and there's nobody walking into you etc as it's not busy inside. I think this is helping the stores to keep stock levels going too.

Quote:Then, they started having dedicated hours in the morning for elderly and key workersPrecisely what they've done In my locality.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 7am-8am, only the elderly and key workers are allowed to shop. It's an excellent measure they've put In place. Security Is also at every entry & exit point, to ensure everything runs smoothly. Stock Is slowly getting back to normal as well.
It's very hard to believe, that all the above happened In one day, namely yesterday.

I think ours was a little more staggered. There was a good part of the week or a couple weeks where shops had started closing (those that were usually 24hrs) overnight to stock, then the elderly time slots, then the security and one in - one out measures.
