If you're applying to a competitive place (grad school, top company) then taking pass/fail indicates you're a pussy. There will be other qualified applicants who didn't take it pass/fail but instead got an A.
If you're not, there's not point in stressing over your GPA anyway.

my school is allowing this also but I really don't want to do it because it's just admitting defeat, but then again salvaging my 3.9 will do me lots of good

Set aside your pride and admit defeat when you're defeated. Simple as

Don't feel inferior to me. I posted gigachad for the meme, I'm in my first year for physics and math. Keep your head up, Anon. Perhaps email your professors and discuss this with them, if you have any sort of relationship with any of them.

If all else fails, just swallow your pride and go for pass/fail.

It's been quite a few years since my last exams. Now I am correcting them and grading students, so I'm holding up quite fine. Some answers are downright hilarious, you can see that the brain has tried to come up with a logical process, but the output makes no fucking sense.

That's complete bullshit and you know it. Any half decent institution is not going to hold those P/Fs against applicants because it's a fucking pandemic. Even top insutitions are enforcing mandatory or opt-out P/F. Not to mention, grades are relatively unimportant to grad admissions and a single semester of classes is basically insignificant in the grand scheme of admissions.

Yes, grades are pretty important. Most important factor? Probably not. But they still are a major part of your application.
The fact that this is a worldwide pandemic will not matter that much. It's not the plague. Let's be honest, for most college students, their lives are just as comfortable, only now they have to stay inside.
The top institutions have hundreds of qualified applicants. For every student who opted to take their classes P/F, there will be a just as qualified student who didn't.
If you disagree, you have a poor conception of how competitive the world is.
