Frankly, I think they've done a fair to middlin' job on emphasizing the hand-washing. And I think people get it, RE provisions. (Whether they've done it or not is another matter.)
However, I see a major obstacle in people willing to acknowledge the depth & duration of what is meant by "social distancing." You can look them in the eyes & tell 'em, and you'll get a north-south all day, but they will still be in denial. "Oh, we're a small town (at the confluence of 2 interstates), and it's little Janie's last Spring concert at the HS auditorium, it'll be Ok." Or...
"Let's hold a convention and we'll only invite the "key" 50,000 people to this major metro area and I'm sure the public transport will be fine - we only do it every 4 years... c'mon, what could go wrong?"
It's time to have The Conversation with people who are closest to you & branch out from there. There will come a time when the front porch sign won't say "No Solicitors" - it'll say "Eintritt Verboten." When the schools close and the parent still has to work, it can't mean "Oh, come down to visit with (COPD) Grandma for the day."
Medical insurers get it, and they are known to reli$$h only one thing. Got notified last night that my secondary (who was primary while I worked for our green machine) waives all testing co-pays, telemed visit charges, charges for delivery of Rx's, etc. should the situation warrant. And that industry is the last one to give something away. (There's probably a chunk of that $8.3B carved out for that on the backend but you gotta be alive first to collect, right?)
