And of course, with many more people becoming unemployed, it's not the best time to purchase new hardware.
Hopefully this whole thing passes soon, but it's going to take a good while yet. China looks in pretty good shape now (but they are worried it will come back from abroad), but in several continents it's still in the spreading phase (Africa, South America, possibly north America too). Europe is around the peak now I think.
It's going to have long-term ramifications for pretty much the entire society.
We knew this already with the reliance on "just in time" supply chains everywhere, but now economists have realised the vulnerability in the system as well. And as a consequence it's possible that more countries will look more inwards, or trying to protect themselves from such things in the future by building up emergency stores and trying to rely less on imports. We'll see how everything shapes up, but I think much can change still, also when the virus is finally defeated (for now, another strain will pop up at some point in the future).

let's hope so.
On the positive side, this will probably mean that devs will have to be more careful with hardware limitations, they will have to think twice before telling users to: ..."just go and buy better hardware"... instead of fixing bugs.
