I’m sure the geniuses at the neighboring health authorities are perfectly capable of monitoring nearby conditions without falling back on federal intervention.

So each state should have an healthcare embassy to coordinate with the other 49 states? Collecting the same data, but 50x?

Maybe we can call them the “Duplicate Centers for Disease Control”. Sure sounds efficient.

State health agencies exist, yes.

Coordinating between them is the CDC's job. Having them all individually coordinate with everyone else would be wasteful and silly.
