How are IBs generating new business during the virus?

Apart from the RX business booming, are there any particular industries IBs are looking at to generate fees? E.g are they focusing on healthcare/biotech because of the virus, financing in the RE/Hospitality sector due to low occupancy rates, etc. Aside from this, any thoughts on how small banks will survive?
