#1 Thedata show how U.S. manufacturers stepped up production and cleared out inventory to supply protective medical equipment to China for weeks, even as the threat of the coronavirus became clear.

So stepping up production capability, clearing out old inventory, and targeting the origins (initial 'hot spot') was a bad thing ?
