It seems weird, but I and my wife could benefit from this catastrophe. Johnson & Johnson will be testing a vaccine for the virus, and tests start in September. My wife and I happen to own a lot of J&J stock (my father-in-law was a senior chemist for a J&J company). He developed other things you may be familiar with.
I hope the tests work, and if not, I hope somebody gets a working vaccine developed. It just feels weird to possibly benefit from a disaster.
