It’s basically how we handle any other national emergency. When hurricanes hit the East Coast my state utility companies send equipment and manpower down. When we get hit with tornadoes the reverse happens. On a national level we can mobilize hard assets with relative ease.
The problem as I see it is the inability to reverse the ownership of regulations. My governor was able to remove state regulations that slowed things down. He was able to go to the federal side and ask that federal rules be expedited or set aside. We had someone in my area who was on her last legs and a doctor from another state was called in to consult. Within hours a drug he wanted to use was approved by the FDA by way of governor request to the FDA. If I remember correctly it took 3 hrs to get the approval.
But you can’t reverse the process.
