I just blow my computer out and reinstall everything.
That is the only proven method. Data files backed up every day and moved off site, or at least on a standalone device not connected to the network.

Ransomware is a serious problem worldwide. We have a huge team of highly qualified professionals working to counter this threat. I'm sure that a lot of cases of this type go unreported. Organizations hush it up and pay the ransom.
If we refuse to pay anytime such an attack is mounted, it will take the economic incentive out of this sort of criminal activity. We need to publicly identify the actors doing this and make their lives difficult.
I was a victim of a ransomware attack with $5,000 US in bitcoins demanded to give me back control of my computer. I do not pay blackmail. I went to a specialized computer firm and paid $249.00 US. I got back control of my computer.
We must be careful of Covid-19 that killed over 3,000 people in the US yesterday. We also must be very careful with our computers. Please have the most up-to-date virus protection, malware protection, etc. Be extremely cautious about clicking on links.
