I do not see how, even with Biden as POTUS, the US will stop COVID-19

65. There is plenty he can do

All of the things dump has not done. A federal plan which unifies and helps states instead of pitting them against each other, free testing everywhere, high quality masks available to everyone, some sort of mask mandate in every state and every establishment, no in person schooling, work from home whenever possible. Economic aid for everyone who needs it.

I am sure there is a lot more... once a vaccine is available, a requirement at schools and places of employment that people have to be vaccinated to attend etc. It is not going to be easy because of the initial lack of response and the lies etc. which allowed it to spread to the level it has and because there are a lot of idiots here who refuse to follow simple and easy guidelines. But eventually it will get better and hopefully without many more people dying.

Herd immunity is basically mass murder and is not a solution of any sort. Even viruses and many diseases perhaps that did not mutate were mainly controlled with a vaccine. Since this seems to be more like an influenza virus in terms of the fact that it mutates and will most likely come back every season, a vaccine is the main thing that will stop it so to speak, or at least get it to a very low occurrence even with less than 100% compliance.

I don't think all red or red purple areas are in full rebellion, some people have the good sense to realize their lives are on the line. My county is quite conservative but each time I have ventured out, everyone is masked and is complying with whatever stores require to be there. 99% of people who have come to our home to do work have been masked. Having a decent person in charge, who actually gives a damn and who leads by example is going to make a big difference as well.

In any case the thing to concentrate on now is winning the election.
