What are the current business Opportunities created by the Swine Flu pandemic?

1. Home Delivery Services

When people opt to "stay at home," then they will still need food, medicines and even other services delivered to the door. If this pandemic worsens, and the fear factor drives people to stay at home; Stores that offer home delivery services could be the winners.

2. Vegetarian Food Producers

Meat could be of the Menu for many families, so producers of pre-packed Vegetarian foods could see a large increase in customers for their produce. This also could help local food producers, as imports of food may be affected by the pandemic.

3. Pharmacies

Pharmacies should sell anti-flu tablets and even a vaccine for Swine flu, this windfall may help struggling pharmacies beat the current recession, and provide much needed temporary jobs.

4. On-Line Businesses

"Staying at home" could mean going online for many people, and this boosts on-line businesses, especially offering home entertainment.
