They can issue JOINT health guidance, they can buy up supplies of needed vaccines, etc... [just on the health front]. Hire all of the excellent people who are resigning.
I said this months ago but I really need a BLUE STATE COMPACT IMMEDIATELY. Bring together all health depts, all education depts, etc... under one umbrella. Collectivize guidance, ensure that disabled students get what they need, etc... An emergency meeting of all Blue State Governors is overdue.

If all of the Dem Governors got on TV and jointly announced such measures, it would make an enormous difference to the morale of so many people. Because people will trust the guidance coming from respected scientists as opposed to that crank RFK Jr.

Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget.
Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make.
The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
