Some suggestions for apposite reads during whatever lockdowns may occur:
The Plague - Albert Camus (whole village isolated in clever allegory)
The Magic Mountain - Thomas Mann (young man confined to an Alpine sanitarium for years)
Diary of the Plague Year – Daniel Defoe (Bubonic. Things could be worse, right?)
100 Days of Sodom - Marquis de Sade (group of perverts pass their time avoiding plague in a castle)
Masque of the Red Death – Edgar Allan Poe (party like the world outside can't get in . . hopefully)
Any other suggestions?
