I posted this in a COVID-19 threat on Malwaretips and it got me suspended over there – apparently that forum is now run by a bunch of Chicoms.Anyway – reports are 30-40% of the medical gear China is sending to Europe are fake/defective. Also, China is flooding Amazon and Ebay with fake masks. The most obvious ones are the non-ASTM certified disposable procedure masks. These are placing US Healthcare Workers at risk because these don’t even pass Level 1 ASTM standards and are really no better than a piece of tissue taped over your face.
For COVID-19 you need an N95 or FFP2 mask or greater, with a Procedure Mask wrapped around that as another barrier, combined with a face shield. However since this virus is airborne, even walking hallways of hospitals you should always have at least an ASTM Level 2, Level 2+ or Level 3 that provides 98%+ filtration on 0.1 Micron Particulate.
Usually the bigger brands offer this – 3M, Adenna, Halyard, etc. However the entire majority of cheap chinese masks flooding the market do not offer this, and in fact fail Level 1 standards and should not be used.
I’m attaching a file that lists the specifications of various procedure masks. Please send this to friends/family, so they know what works and what doesn’t work – and the warning about new Chinese produced masks flooding the world that actually carry no certifications at all (and would not pass them).

Tried to post this in OT on Malwaretips and the Nazi Mods banned me.I’m not sure what to make of MT anymore.. But the mods are morons. I’ll just make a fake account on a corporate VPN and keep rolling. The ‘level’ over there is meaningless anyway.

Finally, the evidence of these fake Chinese masks starts coming out.. Remember, this is what I was banned for over on MalwareTips with their punk mods.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/business/china-mask-exports-coronavirus.html
Facts are facts, Chinese Corporations/Govt. are taking advantage of this and flooding the market with fake, even dangerous masks. But post anything REMOTELY critical of China over on Malwaretips and you’ll get the Ban Hammer. (are they Chinese Funded perhaps?)
