The 1928 American Book of Common Prayer has a prayer which seems especially appropriate during the pandemic. A Prayer "In Time of Great Sickness and Mortality" is found on p. 45.
O most mighty and merciful God, in this time of grievous sickness, we
flee unto thee for succour. Deliver us, we beseech thee, from our peril;
give strength and skill to all those who minister to the sick; prosper
the means made use of for their cure; and grant that, perceiving how
frail and uncertain our life is, we may apply our hearts unto that
heavenly wisdom which leadeth to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
