With everyone confined to their homes in the UK, it's easy for a sense of helplessness to set in.
But 99-year-old Tom Moore has managed to keep himself busy with the extraordinary feat of attempting 100 laps of his garden, to raise money for the National Health Service.
Even more impressively, after his determination got national and global attention, he has already raised more than $5m (£4m).
Mr Moore had hoped to complete the 100 laps of the 25-metre (82ft) loop in his garden before his 100th birthday at the end of the month - but has now said he'll just keep going.
"When you think of who it is all for - all those brave and super doctors and nurses we have got - I think they deserve every penny, and I hope we get some more for them too," he said.
