The Business: Using The Opportunity To Improve Yourself

Diseases don't give a shit about economics or social dynamics. They care only about their own processes; if they were humans, they's be narcissists like Boomers or Millenials and go "Fuck you, got mine" at every opportunity.

But you don't have to be that way. Now is the time--since many providers are lifting data caps--to use your time at home to learn useful shit like Cooking (esp. for you Millenials). If you eat out a lot, or eat premade a lot, you're wasting shit-tons of money that could be going to your bills instead; spend one day a week cooking your meals for the week ahead and take your lunch to work instead; reheat your prepared meals for dinner when you get home.

You can do similar searches for other things. (Though for "How to Sell", you may need to specify some more and watch out for scammers; you'd be surprised how many there are out there.) Learn new skills, fill in gaps in your knowledge, and of course you have a nigh-inexhaustable amount of free entertainment available. (The channels covering the entirely fictional SCP Foundation alone will have you entertained for days.)

And if you liked those videos, then without leaving YouTube you can look up how to make videos on YouTube. Same thing applies to podcasts, audiobooks, writing, drawing, and any other form of content creation. And if you think famous people have a leg up on you, think again; celebrities who make their own videos do no better without all those techs and other experts doing their thing so you're on an even playing field.

Don't just sit there bingewatching all the things. You've got Internet access. Use it to make yourself more anti-fragile, and hereafter events like this will not bother you so much.
