The President invoked the Defense Production Act:
Why? President Donald Trump on Wednesday invoked a Korean War-era law as part of his response to the coronavirus pandemic, aiming to boost private industry production of supplies needed for the health crisis.
What it does it do? The act gives the Federal Government broad authority to tell big companies to make what the needs of the national defense. (In this case National Defense is being against the Coronavirus.)
Does this affect most civilians? NO, the Government is just telling companies what to make basically.
