You can pour boiling water over your computer, that should kill the virus.

BUy yourself a USB killer, that way if your PC gets infected with the coronavirus you can kill it instantly and not risk further infection.
Boy I missed the days of the Commodore 64. If your computer locked up, you just flipped the switch and turn it back on and you're back in business in about a second.
I still have my Sinclair ZX-81...just in case!

I've block all access to my computer from the rural area of the US, I think that will stop the corona virus from getting into my PC.

I used to have the evolution of that one, I had a Timex-Sinclair something or another, circa 1984 or so. Remember it had an annoying chicklet style keyboard. I followed that one up with an APF Imagination Machine. I was into the weird non-mainstream hardware for awhile.
