Who profits from Covid-19 ?

AbbeyRhode · F Best Comment

The medical industry, who inflated the numbers because they get paid more for treating Covid patients. Bonus if they put them on a ventilator.
The drug industry, who is selling out of vitamins and supplements, not to mention the medications used by the hospitals.
The media, who have done everything in their power to create panic and confusion. Fear sells, and they have outdone themselves in spreading fear.
Politicians, who jumped on it with no regard for innocent lives, and have been playing politics with it.

@AbbeyRhode They are cockroaches, and I am in danger for my posts. Not because of SW staff, but because of what has been passed on to others. Be alert. Be vigilant. Be careful.

@puck61 Sad but true. We are living in turbulent times.

@AbbeyRhode They are lower than pig dogs, and there is no low too low for them.

Someone with shares in Regeneron?

@PSuss1 Nice one :)

Online-Shops.

Nimbus · M

@Loretta78 True, I use them.

Loretta78 · 46-50, F

@Nimbus I guess almost everyone is using them - especially during lockdowns in the towns.

Nimbus · M

@Loretta78 True.
I have found then to be so useful that I will continue to use them in this way when the crisis is over.

Amazon!

@SW-User Good point :)

No one actually. No matter how a specific sector would gain in the immediate, the impact on the economies are going to affect them long-term, still.

Nimbus · M

@Elessar Good point.

@Nimbus We can only do our best to minimize losses, and in that the east has beaten the west for now.

SW-User

The drug company that comes out with a cure. Right now, it looks like Regeneron is the front runner for the moment.

Nimbus · M

@SW-User It's possible.

Elessar · 26-30, M

@SW-User mAbs production is a pain to scale up. Chances are we'll have a vaccine long before Regeneron's could be produced in necessary quantities, I suppose.

China will undoubtedly steal an economic march on other countries, even if it doesn't amount to an actual profit.

@malizz 👍

Attorneys..from all the bankruptcy cases they take on.

@missbeez Hospitals have been absolutely clobbered because whenever things start looking rough, they're forced to cancel all the shit that actually makes them money. China's mask making companies did well - but like everyone else their country took a monumental economic hit out of all of this.

Elessar · 26-30, M

@QuixoticSoul And as a plus, masks are being produced locally and not bought from China ever since March's shortage, at the very least here in Italy (but I bet it's the same in the U.S.). Maybe fabrics, at most, I don't know.
