Maybe something about being stuck inside, so why not watch some movies?

My first thought was a snide comment about how being stuck inside and avoiding social interaction isn't actually a behavior change for geeks, but it's hard to convey that sort of thing in a short title.

"Coronavirus" and "Covid" don't really work well either. Not like H1Geek1 would.

I'd be tempted to think of any geeky virus/outbreak/viral apocalypse references and then play off that (like Y: The Last Man or The Omega Man or The Last Ship), but most of them don't really have titles that work with the substitution. And most comic/video game/etc virus stories are all zombie-related these days. So I'm tempted to just suggest something more generic, like Geekpocalypse Now

The real downside with a flu-related topic title is, if this things takes a REAL turn for the worse, and get way more tragic than swine flu/bird flu/SARS/etc did, and a lot of people die, then the new topic is going to start feeling pretty morbid, and sort of a case of "Man, I really wish we hadn't named it that."

Maybe we should just go with something happy, sunshiny, and distracting from all the mess. Like "My Little Geek: Friendship is Nerdy".
