Agreed. This could likely be accomplished with a single tweet even. We might have 40% compliance overnight.

Why is this not being broadcast from all possible media outlets? “Stay at home. If you just absolutely go out, wear a mask.” It’s really that simple.

It will be, but you need the whole nation on lockdown before the national zeitgeist can shift that drastically. Some states just began their shelter in place today (for example Florida and Georgia).
