While we work on a fix for this (ETA undetermined), I would recommend using the docker-ized version of the Forest SDK. Get docker here https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop

With that installed, run the following commands in your terminal:

$ docker run -p 5555:5555 -d rigetti/quilc -S
$ docker run -p 5000:5000 -d rigetti/qvm -S

Within pyquil, you should then be able to run get_qc("8q-qvm") etc. as normal.

The latest package (2.15.1) should work on Catalina: https://qcs.rigetti.com/sdk-downloads Unfortunately I have not fixed the security issue that macOS will complain about.

To circumvent that, you will need to Right click > Open on the .pkg file. Let me know if you need more help.
