Honestly the best way to combat the spread is to start telling true stories (so it's going to be hard for the media to pull off) of people who died, especially people who were healthier and younger.
You'd like to think that you can convince people to abide by social distancing/stay at home rules by appealing to altruism for at-risk people. Not working. You need to appeal to people's selfishness.
If my neighbor could get it, people still do things that spread it. IF they're fighting for their own lives/families, that will change.
You'll get better behavior when people WANT to change, not when they're told to.
