Dealing with Uncertainty in COVID-19 Era

Incoming IB intern here (MM), but might not be "incoming intern" for much longer based on how badly COVID is hitting us (both economically and from a public health standpoint).

I'm worried sick that my internship is gonna get canceled or moved online (where, frankly, I would be useless and return offers would be a lot lower). I know there are bigger problems right now, and I am incredibly grateful to be in a position to have an internship in the first place. But I also know that almost every other "incoming intern" is feeling the uncertainty I'm feeling and is worried about the hard work they put in.

I want this thread to be a place where people can post either stories about how they bounced back from internship/FT job getting canceled, or just give us "incoming" people some advice. Please help.
