The system is setup to allow for individual players to continue to engage in the commercial transactions however they want as long as the prioritized requests have been satisfied. Requests are prioritized based on the "hotness" of the requests and a probability of the issuer of the request not being able to find a way to resolve it. If Mount Sinai (NYC, red zone) needs 20k masks because they are projected to run out in two days ( burn rate 10k/day) and Abington Health (PA, outside Philadelphia, yellow zone) has 20k masks that are heading to it ( its burn rate is 200/day ), the feds will absolutely take it and redirect to Mount Sinai. On the other hand if Mount Sinai is projected to run out in a week, feds won't touch it.
