Is Coronavirus making you feel anxious, feeling the onset of depression?

This is perfectly normal. This (the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020) is a world changing event. Some things may change for the better in the long term, in the short term there will be pain. People losing their jobs, losing their business, entire industries decimated - this is sad. People dying before their time is very sad. All you can do is protect yourself and your loved ones from the fallout as best you can. You can only do your best. And failing is fine too.

Good luck!
