Change status for stimulus check?

I was not eligible for a stimulus check in 2020 due to our income based upon our 2019 married filing joint return.  Now I hear there is a stimulus credit if I didn't get a check.  If I file married filing separately for 2020 then my income is low enough to qualify me for the stimulus credit.  Does it work that way or am I  foreclosed by our 2019 federal return from getting the credit now since I didn't qualify before?

You are entitled to the stimulus based on your 2020 return.
