Maybe it is the feds first, not the states. Before, governors were told to get their own stuff and not depend on the federal government. The states did that. Now it is the federal government is moving in and grabbing the needed supplies.

And the LA Times is reporting that it is going on at the hospital level, the feds confiscating supplies at the local level. It is behind a paywall, so I do not know the details, and haven't seen more reports in the media on it.
Trump and Co. cannot have it both ways, leaving it up to states and then have the feds micromanage the states' supply chains. New York and California are both trying to manage the supply in their states, I assume other states are doing so also. The national stock pile is not the states' stock pile after all (but look at a map of the United States and all you see are states).
