9 pointsby andrewstuart6 anni fa5 comments

Some businesses/events/organisations have discovered they are MORE successful as whatever they morphed into due to coronavirus.

It would be great to read a list of them.

Here's an example:

Melbourne International Film Festival numbers way up as digital-only festival proves a huge hit.

Do you know of any business/organisation/event that has found that its new Covid/isolation/remote configuration works better than the old?

Amazon, and other online businesses for sure. Netflix/Hulu because everyone has more time now at home. Gaming platforms and video games. Even those "meal boxes" services like hello fresh and blue apron

E-Commerce, Shopify, Apps, Home Improvement / Hardware (Bunnings), Consumer Electronics & TV Sales (JB Hi-Fi, Amazon)

Acceptance of Government Authoritarianism and reduction of privacy to aid the fight against COVID-19. Nationalism, de-globalisation (closure of borders, lower interstate and international travel).

Camping and outdoor activity, real estate prices, new housing starts. Sales of gym and excercise equipment, playgrounds, video games, really all the hobby sectors boats I think.
