For me, whether pandemic or no pandemic real estate is the best investment. The only downside is the slow increase of the value but the stability cannot be questioned. Near our home is a big piece of land that is being bought by a developer to be made into a compound of townhouses (similar to apartments). The land is not yet paid but many brokers are already selling the townhouses that are yet to be constructed. It goes to show the profitability of the real estate.
