Do something else in the meantime and let the inspiration bloom. Worry/fear is the sign of "fighting" something you cannot change  right now. It's like transmuting anxiety. Accept things as they go along. S'gonna work out, always does. Gets easier over time, being mindful about it is what counts as progress.

If the question to that is one of those "what if...?" Hey! Do what you can and force nothing more, worrying is you making it harder for yourself.

Remember that Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy? Heh, there's wisdom in there. 

Have a good one!

Its probably a stress response, people aren't used to the circumstances the world has forced upon us with the virus stuff yet

Oh boi, I feel you

These last couple of days have weighted a lot on me too. But things can't always come and go as you want. If people could do things easily just because they told themselves to do them, it would be too good for everyone. Alas, forcing yourself to do something you've planned long ago regardless of the present circumstances risks to lead you to disappointment, and the result is not always what it's originally supposed to be. For my part, I fear sometimes for Flannery's run to never end. But I shouldn't. What really matters is not the date of when the journey ends, but what happened during this journey. Don't forget that you're not writing stories for professional purpose. Your hobby should remain what it is; something that is supposed to bring you happiness, delight and enjoyment out of your working life. That's why it's always important to listen to yourself. If you ever manage to take some distances with everything that appears to be part of a daily routine, you'll feel different, relieved and fresh-spirited again. You'll see, your fanfic will be better off this way
