As for actual air-dropping - this is actually not that far from reality here in Europe. Two days ago Czech army transport aircraft (nothing fancy, just a A319) got back from Shenzen with 100k quick-tests for the virus, that can give results in about half an hour for a symptomatic infected person. Then the test were distributed to main hospitals via police helicopters.

Reportedly the Hungarian government learned about this operation & are likely to do something similar in the next days.

Also in parallel, Czech Airlines aircraft have been pretty much drafted and sent to China for more stuff - like more tests, respirators and personal protective equipment. And one of the huge Ukrainian AN-124s has been chartered and is already on way for ~100 tons of medical supplies in one go, with more likely to follow.

Basically any classical goods transfer methods are far too slow for this and time is of essence.
