I'm an essential worker so I'm working long (48 hr) shifts when I'm at work during the outbreak, so the first world struggle of passing time isn't of much concern to me to be honest.
Anyway, when I have time off from work I'm usually reading. I don't watch much TV or shows (though Tiger King is an amazing binge to sit down and partake). That being said, when I get up in the morning I work out every day. If I don't get some exercise I won't sleep well at night or will stay up late, so I don't have much choice to be honest.
Body weight work-outs, there's plenty to find online, mine are primarily things like single leg squats up into a full tip toe extension, burpees (if the impact on shoulders allows), then Judo solo fit-in drills either with a belt or elastic bands. I've been doing inversions utilizing my belt around the corner of my bed frame.
Last year, after ACL surgery (2nd one overall), I did a lot of uchikomi early on strengthening my non-surgery leg and slowly working into using my new knee. I was able to get back to positional training and some other Gi training earlier this time around after knee surgery (playing a lot of lapel guard/deconstructing Keenan's game prior to Lapel Encyclopedia coming out) and thus didn't do as much uchikomi after surgery compared to how many I did after my first ACL surgery 8 years ago.
We do a ton of uchikomi or fit-ins in Judo early on, so the concept of solo training/repetition isn't anything new to Judo players. A normal day has at least 500 fit-ins for your throw of choice (outside of regular practice). A few years back I had a goal of hitting 10,000 in a 4 months span and got close to about that number.
I spent about 6 months doing just uchikomi and PT after my ACL surgery 8 years ago. I was only a bluebelt at the time in JiuJitsu and didn't have the repertoire to enable me to train around the recovery as much as I did the 2nd time around.
I attribute a lot of my retention of throwing skills over the years away from Judo compeition to periods of cleaning back up my basics with a ton of arduous form repetition.
JiuJitsu is lucky in that all the live training is it's greatest attribute in the sense and feel of training and application, but TBH, the unstructured nature of how most people roll actually slows and degrades their possible skill development efficiency. Forcing yourself to drill a small subset of moves with precision will have more long term development effect than aimless round after round the way we often lazily train in JiuJitsu.
