Imagine the current e-commerce trend of shopping at home accelerating because of the virus.
Trucking and delivery companies benefit, retailers can further downsize their grossly oversized real estate footprints, consumers don't catch the flu. It's a win all around.
Separately, and remaining on topic, residential real estate remains tight. This means residential construction will continue to drive strength in the economy, for the simple reason that humans need a warm, dry place to sleep at night. Population growth combined with a tight housing market requires this. Virus or no virus.
