To your average Joe, they probably remember the effort needed to sequence the human genome (was there a Tomorrows World programme on it?).
My expectation is thus that after CoViD-19, Joe public will retain the expectation that stuff can be done much quicker so why is xyz (eg. cure for cancer) taking so long.
