Look I'll be blunt: you handle this by being grateful. The alternative is that you could be without a job and a paycheck and struggling to figure out how to pay your bills. I live in Nashville. We got hit with a devastating tornado at the start of March that put a good number of people out of work followed by the safer at home order that increased the number of people out of work. Some of those people live in the same apartment I do and I see them struggling with how they will pay for things. You have a job, you have a paycheck and it sounds like you are remote so you get to work from hopefully a lower cost of living area. Save your money, sign up for You Need A Budget and learn where and how you can cut costs. This probably won't be the last time something like this happens. So instead of throwing a pity party, do the things needed to make this a non event. Things like living in a lower cost of living area, cutting your expenses, having a robust and resilient emergency fund and be grateful you still have a job while millions have no idea when they will go back to work or how they are going to pay their bills.
