As in, assume Joe wins and spends the subsequent months using his bully pulpit to promote wearing a mask and social distancing, cajoling states and local governments into making these things the law. He allocates $100,000,0000 left over from his campaign to public service messages about the virus. Centralizes the data, etc etc. etc. Assume he does pretty much everything he possibly can.

Then I fear that 35% of the country will just give that effort the middle finger, and 35% of the population is more than enough to keep this thing rolling.
