There is also a minor point to highlight: the risk of over-regulation. Something that was notable in the early days of the COVID pandemic was that supply chains react poorly to shocks when they were not allowed to respond. Shelves bare of food while farmers smashed eggs, style of thing. And of course the CDC blocking any working COVID tests in early 2020 will be remembered for a long time.

People have a tendency not to break laws, even in an emergency. Regulations need to let these businesses move quickly in the event of a supply chain crisis.
