do this internally? The National Guard, yeah, but the full scale biggest military the world has ever seen? I was discussing this with my sister last night. We know one person who flies freight for a very large company and another person who works in logistics for a pharma company, not one of the ones in question. The country's freight capacity is already teetering on the edge of breakdown, and there's nowhere near enough medication components, OR packaging for cold stuff. Should be interesting.
