"I’m nervous when people walk too close to me on the sidewalk. Passing a jogger without a mask feels deadly."

This has absolutely nothing to do with the government and everything to do with the other people in your community. Some of them are not taking the pandemic as seriously as you are, but there is not much you can do about that except stay away from them. The virus is not magic, and if you practice social distancing, wear a protective mask, and even throw on a pair of rubber gloves, you should be fine. An effective cure or a vaccine for this sickness is not guaranteed by any means, and it won't be developed by the government. You might have to get used to this.
