Hardest Hits-
Housing Market
Restaurant workers
Any face to face sales
Medical - could go in either column depending on specialty. Hospitals have stopped non essential surgeries. They don't really have enough coronavirus patients yet to fill their beds. But people will get sick regardless. In my area, the hospitals are actually slow currently.

Businesses doing well -
Grocery Stores
Amazon
Food Delivery services
Any delivery companies
Refinance market?

What else you guys got?

I'm a developer. Working from home. It's nice not having to pay for gas to and from work, I'm eating healthier, and it's unlikely my pay will be impacted.

I work for a plumbing manufacturers rep. We haven't seen any fall off yet, but if some big projects get put on hold we will see it. Every day plumbing needs will probably pick up, but I'm guessing new construction will slack off for a while.
My best friend owns a small business that takes school pictures and does proms, high school sports teams, little league teams in rural TN/MS/AR tri-state area. His business is going to be devastated if the schools and little leagues don't make up their events.

I am currently sitting at a golf course working. It is the busiest I have seen it in years. Owner just confirmed.

Gyms and health clubs closed, people “working” from home, nice weather.

Add meeting planners/convention/ hotel to the negatively impacted business list

Add mitigation companies such as Servpro and service master to the list of positively impacted as if they are certified for disinfection and have the right equipment they will make bank
