You might get sick of hearing about the inevitable spread of the disease. Let's put in the perspective of a doctor in our area who shared today:

"Humbling reality: The worse has not arrived yet. According to Professor Murray from the University of Washington, the peak of our local epidemic, ASSUMING WE CONTINUE WITH PHYSICAL DISTANCE MEASURES, will come on the third week of April. My friends, yes 3 more weeks....It seems by then we will have a statewide deficit of ICU beds. It will get really bad before it gets better. The good news: all this time, every hospital in our area has been taking measures to accommodate for the “surge” as best as we can.

...More somber news. The cases will not disappear overnight. We will be hearing of people passing away every week because of COVID 19 in our State well into summer, even if the epidemic is improving..."

He adds, ”Our mortality (Northeast Wisconsin) is about 1.4%, a little bit better as compared to other areas. Having many patients very ill for a long time will impose a lot of stress on us, healthcare workers. Us in the healthcare field, we need to be prepared for busy months and we need to stay positive to develop resilience. Our community is here cheering for us 💚💛💚...”

Just an FYI, since my wife and I have information coming from her hospital and caregivers we link to socially.

Also, see NYTimes link for daily updates with country map of disease spread. You can see how bad it is especially in New York.
