The World's Billionaires {$10.2trillion}:

A report by Swiss bank UBS found that billionaires increased their wealth by more than a quarter (+27.5%) at the height of the crisis from April to July, just as millions of people around the world lost their jobs or were struggling to get by on government schemes.

Capitalism is great craic.

Food delivery services like deliveroo and uber eats have boomed. Should have bought stock in those back in March.


Hotel industry has cratered

Impacted personally; Cannot for the life of me buy a NEW Logitech Brio WEBCAM or any NEW DECENT QUALITY WEBCAM at the moment anywhere.

It MUST be new. No offers either: No PM's please.

I think Halloween will be a bit wilder this year than it has been in a long time, no council run projects, no pubs, halloween bonfires will have everybody at them, and their will be plenty of drink and drugs taken, it will be party night. Hope im wrong

Gerry Harvey apparantly saw a big jump in sales during the lockdown. He's even looking at expanding in Ireland.

Glenomra

Book sales especially online

Anything that needs to have a large amount of people within in it very close to eachother must be doing badly right now.
i.e Amusement Parks, Waterparks etc

Agencies and PR Firms who run so called "reviews" of both virtual and real world events who basically publish the event as "Outsstanding Success" and "Wonderful Event" will thrive.

This sort of industry was growing if not in leaps and bounds without the pandemic. Their job is to drown out the complaints and criticisms of the basic visitor or attendee

Pornhub. I've been choking the turkey off myself to relieve the boredom of covid 19.

I work in Telecomms infrastructure. Never been as busy. The lockdown and netflix/gaming/WFH has turned us into a golden nugget industry. Designated essential service too. Now if only there was anywhere to go to use up all the excess holidays.

I agree I expect all hell will break loose this Halloween certainly wouldn’t like to be a fireman or a Garda this year

Work for an e-commerce provider that happens to have 3 major manufacturers of audio headsets as clients. Sales were through the roof.

However, we also have a few video game clients, and while that industry is doing well regarding existing games, the main area of our business is in preorders of new games, which has been negatively affected as a lot of scheduled 2020 releases have been delayed until next year due to development being hit by the lockdowns.

So swings and roundabouts.

Apparently replacement windows! Know of two companies booked out till Christmas.

I know a good few people who got new windows and doors since March.
I think they painted the house and replaced furniture and the only other thing they could do was to get new windows!
