All that we've heard and seen lately is COVID-19 this and COVID-19 that. So while I could give you my take on the matter, I don't want to keep talking about it.
The only way to get through this and move on from this is to 1) listen to the government about staying at home and restricting or eliminating contact with people, and 2) to make life as normal as possible during this time.
So, find ways to make life normal. Get up at a decent hour each day, try to cook a new meal or two, and use this time to invest in the hobbies you otherwise wouldn't have time for. It gives you a purpose, something to do, and something to build routine around.
For example, I started re-watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix, began coloring again, picked up a few books I've been reading, created a YouTube channel with my siblings for fun, and cooked a few meals I haven't had in a while (and yes, my box of Kraft mac n' cheese counts as "cooking" because it's been a bit since I've had to make my own food). And, I'm still taking classes, they're just online now. (To be fair, this sounds like more than it actually is. You have no idea how much of my time involves sitting in front of my computer... I should start exercising too now that I think about it.)
Be diligent in maintaining relationships too. We're all in this together, so play Kahoots over Zoom (I recommend the Kahoot about random turkey facts if you wanna learn a thing or two about your Thanksgiving meat of choice), call and text your buddies and family you don't get to see anymore, or even go for a walk around town and talk to your neighbors (that is, from a distance because we're not animals here, well if you consider that humans are mammals... that's for another time).
And if you're still working, congratulations on still having a steady income and not being bored out of your mind! Also, props to you for being persistent in going to work and helping society keep functioning during these times. I hope you don't catch anything.
I know I said I didn't want to talk about coronavirus, but realistically, what else is there to talk about right now? Some great things have come out of it, like SGN with John Krasinski (highly recommend, though you might cry), as well as all the stories of people helping one another, taking care of and encouraging each other, celebrating birthdays from a distance, praying together through videos, and so much more. We just gotta look on the bright side of all this.
Also, I'm sure this whole quarantine business will be over by the end of the year. After all, 2020 can't last forever (even if it feels like it already has). We can make it!

Alright, if you really wanna hear my take on COVID-19, I'll share it, but only if you let me know that's what you want. Otherwise, I'm not gonna get into it when you can hear a million other opinions on it instead.
