The regulations are not for COVID. They are for future supply chain shocks. The executive branch has already begun to explore the problem (see citation below).

“The 100-day reports make clear: more secure and resilient supply chains are essential to our national security, our economic security, and our technological leadership. The work of strengthening America’s critical supply chains will require sustained focus and investment.”

No one is starving. Somethings are just temporarily more expensive.

Things being temporarily more expensive is a real hardship for some people.

Demanding it not be so will make things permanently more expensive for everyone, not only in the monetary sense, but also in labor and material. Subsidize or ration if we must, but only temporarily and in response to a crisis.
