Yes, I agree that China is the biggest winner. Just adding to what is alreadt said, not all of their provinces were locked down completely in the comparison to Europian countries where the citizens and businesses had to stop for 1.5 months!

Really?

Have you checked the market cap of the American corporations recently?

On April 1st, the market capitalization of Apple Inc was measured at $1.03 trillion. The current figure is $2.25 trillion, which represents an increase of 118%. Do you want to say that Apple is a Chinese company?

Similarly, Microsoft went from $1.15 trillion to $1.75 trillion during the same period (+52%). Google increased by 56% (from $0.75 trillion to $1.17 trillion). Amazon outperformed all of them, by going up by 85% ($0.96 trillion to $1.77 trillion). Facebook is yet to reach the trillion level, but it also went up by 90% ($454 billion to $862 billion). American investors are awash with money. And you are claiming that the Chinese are winning? 

Only some companies are doing well because of the service they provided are beneficial in this Covid19 time.

The rest of the US top 500 are burning through Cash and so many went bankruptcy. 

So many layoffs so many people out of jobs.

Government can't even stimulate the economy by sending the tiny check to their citizens.

Those are all companies that are not affected with covid-19 because they are online

Biggest winner is still China even if they produce fail products and vaccine.  They done put a dent in all economy especially US.  They will walk away a winner even if their economy took a dip.  This is a perfect opportunity for China to harass their neighbor countries and take ownership of the South Asia sea.

Gold and Jeff Bezos aka Amazon were the biggest winners lol. The amount of people ordering stuff that they didn't need or would never have ordered was crazy. That guy pulled in over $13billion in one day. Makes me cry with envy  Grin

The biggest winner is who bought stock with bargain price!!
And Medical is not winner soon the covid Will be forgetted for ever once money is Coming

Technology stocks are surging right now. Anyone who had stocks such as AAPL, GOOGL and FB would be in profit by at least 60% on a YoY basis. I am not that excited about the medical sector. Their revenues have gone up. But at the same time, a lot of the healthcare workers have got infected and some of them have died from the disease. In the long run, there is going to be hardly any positive impact for the healthcare sector.

It is very improper to think that the biggest winner at this pandemic is the medical society because as we can read,  hear and watch on the news, this virus have become a big burden to the medical practitioners although it is already given that their job is to work on health related matters, still what is at stake on this situation is their own life dealing on taking good care of the infected individuals and finding solutions how this pandemic would come into an end. Yes, there is a money involve for their services are greatly high on demand but it would be nonsense if they would die fight back against this deadly virus that still do not have a proven and tested cure for the vaccines created are still undergoing a process of medical trials.

Maybe the biggest winner to be considered in here are the tech companies or the whole tech community for at times like this following the new normal, people are working from home, taking online classes and other related stuffs to avoid going outside but still can be able to continue on their life using modern technology.

Government can't even stimulate the economy by sending the tiny check to their citizens.

If that was the case, then the stock market indices should be down by at least 40%. The last time I checked, that was not the case. Ever since the pandemic started spreading outside China, the NASDAQ Composite has gone up by 64%. Can you recall the last time, when the index went up by so much? Even the Dow Jones Industrial Average went up by more than 30% between April and September. That means that the majority of the companies are doing well and not just online retailers as you claim.

Yup, that's why there are news that Jeff Bezo got back his 150 billion dollar statue during the start of pandemic. All of us at our home, offices decided to do skeleton working and some our stay at home. Technologies are needed and online transactions and deliveries are winning.

American billionaires are getting richer during this time, and it sucks to say that we can't do anything about it cause we need there products. We are all guilty of it, try remembering how many times you just clicked the "purchase" button while at home during this time.

That is not the right way of looking at it, I am afraid. The billionaires are getting rich, and there is no doubt about it. But what about ordinary investors? Some 40% of my portfolio is made up of stocks and mutual funds (second only to cryptocurrency), and I am benefitting from the market rally. Like me, there are hundreds of millions out there, who have seen an increase in the valuation of their investments.

Medical companies will be making a fortune out of this. Treatment, vaccines when we finally get one. They are the ones that control the governments and make the big desicions, so the true winners in all this. Don't want to say anymore as I don't want to go down the conspiracy theory route haha
The winners after this is the medical team of any country, why? because it is their fight, mainly. But in reality, after the casualties that the pandemic gave us, there is no winner but a lesson learned to humanity. If you think that creating a vaccine is just for making money then you must be in wrong thinking. There are countries who already beaten the virus, I believe Wuhan, China has already done it coz they are celebrating recently.

Yes medical companies will definitely make a fortune out of this specially if they are the ones who will find a realiable vaccine first because the problem is a virus so the solution would be a vaccine but if we will think about who really gets the good out of this pandemic generally speaking it is the online stores and services, this will depend on each countries but the point is online stores and services have more customers now that were on a pandemic because people are scared to go out and are willing to pay just to make everything dome without them leaving their houses

Gold was the ultimate winner of Covid19, undoubtedly.

While most crypto were waiting for a btc ATH, gold had its own ATH and hit $2k+

Whoever bought and stacked gold in the last 5 years made huge money. At one point in 2015 it was only $1k...

China seems to have won the war against the coronavirus as a result the path to global domination has become easier for the country. While fighting through severe lockdowns and social distances almost the whole of Chinese life is returning to normal. They are also using their productive forces to obtain diplomatic and political concessions from the most affected countries for the supply of large quantities of medical supplies that is why they are so successful.

Only delivery companies and huge business like Amazon won and earn even more profit
Other people became even more poor

Stock market has gone up during the last few months, and it is not just the online retailers (such as Amazon) who have increased their business. All I would say is that the pandemic has accelerated the shift from physical business to online business. This process was underway for the last many years, but now it has reached a tipping point. A part of the population might witness joblessness and lack of income, while the other part may feel just the opposite.

I can say that the biggest winner during this Covid-19 crisis are those industries that provides the essential needs of the people and some tech companies around the world.
The medical and health sector plays a vital role in this pandemic and they deserve to gain more profits because of their risky and  untiring services in providing the cure to all sick and infected people and its really commendable. Same goes to all the food and grocery industries, they're gaining a lot more since the lockdown started. Lastly, the most important to us now is the highest technology that we have, tech companies are one biggest winner too because we rely on them until now and all our transactions are being made virtually in order to avoid contact with virus.

Even that time wasn't enough to stop the spread of Covid, it is only the time that it took to control the spread of the virus. But China on the other hand is almost like it didn't even face an epidemic in its country as you said only one province was completely locked during the virus spread and it seems fishy as hell as why in their country only one province was affected and there wasn't any case outside that province whereas in the other countries the situation got worse even after the lockdowns, for example see India where the number of cases are still rising really faster than before the lockdown was implemented.
I believe that many countries need to take China as an example, for a more effective fight against the pandemic, and not position the Chinese government as the number one enemy for the whole world. At least the Chinese government, with its tough measures, has managed to stop the spread of the virus and at the same time is rapidly increasing the recovery and further development of the economy.
