Er. This one will go all the way to SCOTUS. Even this SCOTUS is surely not partisan enough to agree with the orange fatty. A healthcare emergency requiring states to decide how to respond doesn't justify federal dictatorship.
As it happens, keeping this administration from doing more harm is manifestly a good idea. It doesn't take an enlarged and empowered central government to order PPE. Just get on and order it.

"Trump threatens to adjourn Congress unless they confirm several of his nominees. The problem is that Trump doesn’t actually have the power to carry out his threat."

"Trump said:
Whether it’s Russia, Russia, Russia, or whether it’s impeachment hoax, or whatever it may be, it’s always roadblocks and a waste of time. If the House will not bring to that adjournment, I will exercise my constitutional authority to adjourn both chambers of congress. The current practice of leaving town while conducting phony pro Forma sessions is a dereliction of duty that the American people cannot afford during this crisis.
It is a scam what they do. It’s a scam. And everybody knows it. And it’s been that way for a long time. And perhaps it’s never done before, it’s never been done before. Nobody is even sure if it has, but we’re going to do it. We need these people here. We need people for this crisis, and we don’t want to play any more political games. I’ve been waiting for two and a half years, three years for some of these people."
