        Remember March? As American hospitals ran out of tests, masks and gowns, President Trump suggested states try the open market . Governors panicked. Infection spread, largely unchecked. @AP found Chinese exports had stalled. 2/7http://apne.ws/TFXEJtj

        Just when they were needed most, Malaysian factories supplying the US with medical gloves dropped to half-capacity. The industry is plagued with labor abuses. 3/7http://apne.ws/VYYsH11

        As the first shipments of N95 medical grade masks finally reached the U.S., reporters @JulietLinderman and @MendozaMartha noticed one shipment had ear loops instead of head bands, a tell-tale sign of counterfeits. 4/7http://apne.ws/nj1FTxD

        Untested, unapproved, and without a factory of their own. The U.S. government made a big gamble on start-up injection device for COVID-19 vaccines, @AP @frontlinepbs and @GlobalRepCentre reported 5/7http://apne.ws/iw91jek

        Why are there still N95 shortages? The Trump administration hasn’t made long-term investments in meltblown textile, the key ingredient for the masks. 6/7http://apne.ws/ykZ4N1M

        When the coronavirus hit the U.S., countless Americans were left unprotected amid a desperate shortage of PPE. There still isn’t enough. Read more in today's investigation from @AP, @frontlinepbs and @GlobalRepCentre. 7/7http://apne.ws/ZTzEBIo

        Because American companies were focused on selling overseas when this whole thing started. Should have held for Americans, knowing we would get hit.
