I could imagine some outlandish scenario where mask production went into high gear due to a worldwide pandemic and possible shortages.
Another truth at the time was they didn't know how contagious Covid was and as Donger mentioned, hadn't seen it in action in the US yet.
Later on, they learned things, so conclusions changed.
That's generally how the world works.

Everything is made in China which was locked down. We need to move our PPE infrastructure back inside the US. I suggested very early on the government could purchase old factories no longer in use and use them to ramp up but that probably made to much sense.
