Not until next school year several months away, if I don't have a "proper" job by then I'm working McDonalds and we're looking at selling our house and have a whole host of other problems.
If nothing else, you should be eligible for an Obamacare plan, which might not be quite as good as the health insurance you had, but would be a lot cheaper than COBRA. I've been on it for a few months before while I was in between jobs in the past.
I would recommend starting the process immediately to avoid any issues with the time involved with collecting the required documentation.
Especially with all the people who lost jobs due to COVID, they have become very accustomed to having to deal with this recently.
I would suggest you do what you can to stay in tech. Even being a cheap freelancer would probably make you more $ than fast food and you'll have more energy for other things.
