Is it possible to break a lease because you can not afford it anymore due to COVID-19?

Due to COVID-19, we are having a hard time paying our $1800 a month rent. We have depleted our savings and deferred many of our monthly bills just to pay rent these past few months. I notified the landlord in writing of the difficulty and have even requested our 24 month lease be changed to a 12 month lease but was denied. I was told if I want to move out, I need to give a 60 days notice and pay a $5395 early termination fee at the time of the 60 days notice. I was also told along with the $5395 early termination fee I am responsible for two additional months rent (60 days). I have tried working with the landlord and I have explained our hardship but they are unwilling to help except waive a monthly late fee. That does not help at all. If I am unable to pay my $1800 a month rent payment, how can I be expected to give a 60 days notice and pay $5395 up front along with rent? It makes no sense. So, my question is, is there any way to break the lease without paying the fees?
