I want to point out that this is a sophisticated philosophical point, dressed up in pirate costumes.
It's more or less the essence of Stoicism. What can you do, this week, to deal with this crisis? You could plant a victory garden. You can exercise to keep your immune system strong. You could get out and enjoy whatever part of the glorious spring weather is open to you. You can call your friends and loved ones, and keep their spirits up, because they need it too.
What can't you do? Well, there's quite a lot. Learn to recognize it, and let go of it. You can't fix it. Focus on the things you can do, and accept the things you can't.

By creating a psionic grid over the human populated areas, a quantum field and observation effect are now being used to collapse the threat of what humans call the virus, down into a more manageable realm of possibilities. This psionic grid is powered by the human mind and intent, utilizing positive emotions, service to other, prayers, and group meditations. With even just the square of 1% of a local regional population powering the grid, effects begin overcoming the statistical margin of error in scientific measurements.
This is the answer to a more fundamental question. Why do more advanced civilizations enslave less advanced civilizations, if the more advanced technology is so much better? Generally because the human chakra and miracle system cannot be successfully replicated by technology by middle level civilizations and factions. The Machines in the Matrix use humans as batteries because the biological storage capacity is easier to maintain for the efficiency than whatever other technology they had for a power station. This does not address what are advanced civilizations and what are primitive factions, but it does introduce the sphere and conceptual realm required to grasp the difference.
Philosophy would be easier if it were all dressed up in pirate costumes.
The first hard part is knowing which is which, aka, the wisdom to know the difference.
My next door neighbors are Coast Guard and are off doing whatever the Coast Guard does at times like this. I can't do what they do but I can water their plants.
I can't visit an old friend in a nursing home but I can send her cards.
“There is one thing, Emma, which a man can always do if he chooses, and that is his duty; not by manoeuvring and finessing, but by vigour and resolution. - Mr. Knightley”
Some things are far away and impossible. so the trick is not to let them distract us from clear duties here and now.
