I already started this exact thread two months ago when it was obvious that Trump’s coronavirus response was going to be a disaster.

If this were a baseball season, Biden now has a 10-game lead. Can you blow a 10-game lead between July and October? Yes. Is it likely to happen? No.

Biden is up 24-3 mid second quarter in football. Hard but not impossible.

I ran this scenario (down 21 points receiving the ball midway through the 2nd quarter) into the Pro Football Reference win probability calculator.  

The chance of the trailing team winning here is about 3%.

That seems fair to me.
