I have a tangential thought.

When we come out of this thing, don't just come out with a new skill, language, side-hustle...

Come out of it a better human. Whatever that means in the context of your life.
That may mean getting to spend a lot more time with family. Or a moment of quiet to yourself to do nothing but rest - that genuine rest that your body & mind has been yearning for after years of a frantic pace & nonstop activity.
Perhaps a moment to reflect. On life. On self, on how you think, why you think the way you do, why there may be certain patterns of behaviour in your life that have herebefore simply repeated themselves.
Or perhaps a moment to actually get on that skill, that language, that side-hustle.
Or just nothing. Just a moment to take time to soak it all in. The silence of the city. The fact that more stars are visible in the sky than I've seen in a long time. That the air feels fresher. That you can hear the birds chirping, the dogs barking, the music in the wind...
Whatever it means to you to become a better human. Listen to your instinct, to your intuition, move in that direction. It's yours. Make the decision, own that decision, and whatever it is, let no one dictate what it means to you, as long as you're a better human for it.
