You can still participate in distributed computing projects, just check out Science United which is one that uses BOINC for the project management. I've got it running on my Raspberry Pi (which primarily runs Magic Mirror so its nice to let somebody else get some benefit since its primarily a relatively static display). Also, Folding@Home did do some of the research into COVID, so it is staying up to date.
