are you really not seeing a pattern of chaotic control measures in real time that are then softened or at the least less vaguely outlined a few days later? or even a week later?
social distancing changed to soft quarantines, changed to restaurant/bar closures, changed to hard quarantine, changed to stay in lock down. thats my state, in a week. but you want what? a perfectly crafted plan for which doctors among dozens of specialties will be allowed to prescribe a medicine that we're short on that hasn't cleared medical trials but is 100% needed for lupis patients?
its almost like you are asking for a much larger, broad reaching, and efficient government than i'd ever have dreamed you even approve of, much less advocate for. either that or you want the buddies of dentists to get 3/4 of the supply and have it rot in medicine cabinets unused. odd....
I wouldn't characterize them as chaotic. From my MN perspective, I'm seeing level headed decisionmaking based on the available evidence, backed by science. The governor goes on TV, explains his rationales for the moves he's making, gives us expectations for what to expect in two weeks, etc. Everything he's done has been with forethought, with input from experts. Not knee jerking. Those two governors could easily have tailored their orders, rather than rendering outright bans. There's no conceivable way they don't have inputs from their states' health departments.

So no lupus treatments for three months?
According to Kaiser's "thanks for taking one for the team" letter, we know that the medication has residual protections that can last 40 days. Supply can be fixed in 40 days.
