Not couple billions, but still the last bullet point is exactly what you're saying.
> Also, Google employs some of the best marketers on the planet, they should be showing ads for how to wear masks correctly and for practical safety guidelines, and leverage everything they've learned about the human psychology to disperse information that could save lives.
Google seems promoting the following link in their top page (which is perhaps one of the most valuable real estate in the internet).

If they can spend billions on fines, it's possible that they could afford to spend a comparable amount to help people and save lives. Don't you find it insulting that the bulk of the support package is ad credits? > Google seems promoting the following link in their top page Only if you search for coronavirus tips and related terms, that is nowhere near the massive marketing campaign Google could pull off across their network to bring vital information to the public.
