Businesses on networking infrastructure alongside online services are growing. Home delivery services can be popular.

Regardless of the current crisis, public work project and civil engineering are in high demand as decades-old nationwide infrastructure systems (roads, highways, tunnels and bridges) need to be repaired and renovated.

I said Zoom would do well, and my post gets deleted? Can the moderators please do some basic research and learn what Zoom is? Yes, it's a remote conferencing services company.

Pharmaceuticals.  Web based ones. 

Once the crisis passed watch all the currently stricken ones bounce back.  Airlines (there may be less of them so the remaining ones will be operating at higher capacity).  Food and drink (likewise).

Videogames. One of the few remaining escapes that won't put you or your loved ones at risk of infection.

Basic services and key industries like healthcare, energy, food production, manufacturing, telecommunications, sanitation, etc. Just name a job that caters to a person's basic needs, they'll likely to stay afloat even in other emergencies. If you're working for these industries, you're still likely busy and working today. Be thankful for that, it's a job that won't go belly up even if the economy goes under

Fast Food of course. Got to keep up the belly spread with the rest of the world

In the U.S. all industries will weather this, as the federal government is spending trillions to bridge the gap over the coming months, and when this virus has been brought under control the U.S. economy is going to take off. like never before.

Online English classes. But if almost everyone else suffers economically, there won't be any students who can afford to pay though.

To be expected from those who long downplayed the severity of the virus. How have those virus related predictions turned out?
