You bring up issues which to me are not, and were not directly relevant to the need for hospital capacity to easily expand as needed, without bureaucratic hurdles.

If your point is that everyone was dealing with other problems and had no time to think of freeing the hospitals from bureaucratic burdens that inhibit their ability to temporarily expand facilities in an emergency, then we have the wrong team in the administration. They should have thought of it, Trump should have realized it and fired some people, and implemented the regulatory relief much sooner.

I think we are now past the point where the main impact of that regulatory relief might have helped the past few months. The curve - the health care system burden - is already bending down.

No, I mean the bureaucratic hurdles were already deeply embedded. We do not have a dictatorship in this country, so you can't just go in and do what is right. You have to find out what the laws & regulations are and then seek legal counsel, as to how these can be dealt with.

Remember these are only temporary hospital expansions, that can be brought in when needed and then eliminated when the need no longer exists. The Federal regulations made it much too burdensome to be able to create temporary expansion facilities, which slowed the process considerably.

This is not for this current medical emergency, it is for any ones that occur in the future. In other words, he has made it easier for things to get done, and not get bogged down in bureaucratic BS, the next time one occurs. He fixed the system. Do you get it now?
