Given the choice between a Chinese mask that perhaps didn't meet some specification (but probably does) and, no mask which is better I wonder?

- robomartin 7y agoThis depends on context: Let's say these masks are going to protect our doctors. The risk is that garbage masks might not protect them at all. Very soon we lose an entire hospital because we used product without traceable and verified specifications and performance. How many patients die because that one hospital is now shuttered? If, on the other hand, these masks are being used while cutting wood on a table saw to keep from inhaling sawdust, well, specifications can be very loose and it will still protect you. When things matter, adherence to standards, honest testing, traceable quality and specifications matters.
