We were established on a long final for Runway X with gear down and flaps at 5 due to being brought in a bit high and fast earlier. We were told 180 kts to the bridge. At 1;200 feet above the field the Pilot Monitoring who was the First Officer said; 'Do you want more flaps?' I realized at that moment that I was pondering the economics of this virus on our airline; and thinking about my fears of a furlough. Had the First Officer not said something I really don't know how long I would have remained distracted. We finished configuring and were stable and configured by 800 feet AGL.I never imagined that I would be able to be distracted at such a vital time. I thought myself too focused and professional to allow that. Apparently this situation plays on my mind and concerns more than I realized. Just being aware of this threat is vital. I wish I could warn everyone that this can happen. There is so much nonstop doom and gloom and fear coming at us from all directions; I must be aware of the threat and stay focused.
Air Carrier Captain reported that concerns about COVID-19 and possible furlough resulted in an unstabilized approach.
