    Where are these made?

      Does it matter? These are basic material masks, no risk of fake mask ratings

        LOL, it is ok. The health official said it is ok to reuse the mask anyway. RIP health …

      The masks the testers are wearing at the COVID drive through testing are all made in Wuhan, I could read the label on the box from the car. Cracked me up.

      • +5

        At least they wear masks. To many don’t wear that why they end up at the drive through testing.

        Look at how they make (possibly used as per the title) masks in China https://youtu.be/7k7ogGUA-Po

        • Can't tell whether its china or any other country in the world. BTW, most "traditional Chinese" written titles are anti-china.

        • +1

          how can you tell its in China though, the dude in the video were not even speaking chinese.

          • @argo1230: Look at the small shrine at 00:01. It's definitely somewhere with a strong Buddhist culture. Definitely not India, Indonesia, Philippines, etc. Of course, one could always try to argue that it's just Chinatown. You just have to think for yourself.

            Alternatively, here's news on toilet paper masks from pro-CCP sources: https://bit.ly/3fvTuNd

            • +1

              @mun4: chill dude, there are many Asian countries have strong Buddhist culture. I have no doubt there are many similar dodgy underground places in China, i'm just saying this particular video might not shot in China.

              • -3

                @argo1230: Like I said, you just have to think for yourself. Technically, there's no definitive evidence about the source country of any video, but it can be deduced from an educated guess. For this one, it's very likely somewhere with a strong Buddhist culture and out of all major mask manufacturing countries in Asia (China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Korea), China and Taiwan are very much the only two. Also note the timing of the video — during the peak of the outbreak in China and the Wuhan lockdown. What's more interesting is the workers' attire, which seems to be suitable for temperature around 10C - 15C. For a mild winter in late Jan or early Feb, the latitude would be somewhere between 20N and 40N. Thus, it's almost beyond doubt that it's Central, Central Eastern or Southern China.

                • +4

                  @mun4: sorry dude, I just can't agree with you. I like how you jumped the conclusion that this video had to be shot in either mainland China and Taiwan. these workers were working in a tiny area, not much bigger than a home garage, and it could be literally anywhere in the world.

                  • -4

                    @argo1230: No bother. I just presented my reasoning. Like I said, it's an educated guess, but the counter-argument would be relatively difficult to construct. Some could well think it's just Sussex St if they wish.

                    If you grab yourself a map and lookup latitude 30N (average) or somewhere with mild winter during that time and a strong Buddhist culture, it can only be China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30th_parallel_north

      Probably best to avoid Thailand, where they washed used masks, ironed them and sold them as new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k92TTXZe77E Extra points for not wearing gloves and liberal use of motorcycles and dogs in the work area.

      Nope. Made in Switzerland by retired Lindt Artisans. 99.99% Cacao filtration guaranteed.

    That is extremely cheap - which automatically makes on suspicious about the quality.
    If you get them, see this video on some crude ways to test mask quality at home - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC0Hga10nbk
    It would be interesting if you reported back to the group on your findings!

      Decent 3ply masks in China go for around $0.20 each. With shipping and overhead taken into account, I'd say don't bother with anything priced less than $0.50 each.

  • If the claims are correct, looks good for the price. Grabbed one.

      Disposable masks are effective against filtration of infectious pathogens.

      definitely effective against filtration…

      • +1

        You're missing the point of wearing of mask, which is the reduction of infectious pathogens that YOU spread.
        The amount of viral load you're exposed to also matters, so if everyone wears a mask, it's extremely effective.

        • shhhh don't say that… I bet most people assume it's the other way around, otherwise I'm pretty sure most won't wear it. Sad but true.

    A lot of masks imported to Oz are faulty\fake Chinese crap and have been removed from the TGA lists https://www.tga.gov.au/post-market-review-face-masks-cancell…

    Well masks used to be $25/50pk in Aldi pre covid.
    And around $15/50pk wholesale.
    This does seem too cheap but I guess we shall see how it is.

    • +1

      Depends what you need the masks for.
      I'm sure these are great for keeping out the pollution we will now be getting with extra cars on the road post lockdown.

    • Saw some today at Aldi for that price

      • My ALDI just stocked some masks for $29 now.

        Anyways I will be tearing one of these masks open and see what the quality is.

    • Even Costco sells 50 pack masks for 49 dollars. Wonder why these are too cheap…

    • pre-covid. Quality masks that are used by dentist sold for $5 for a box of 50. Now the same masks are selling for $50. Not complaining. It is what it is.

  • What is the spec?

    Miniso is selling a 10 pack for $5. That is, if you can find stock.

        "These masks"

        They are advertised as breathable dust and fluid masks.

        They are better than no face covering, but so is a tee shirt.

        • Actually, that's incorrect. The weave for cotton and cotton/poly blend t-shirts is much larger.

          • +3

            @KangaDrew: Did you read what I wrote? I said both a tee shirt and a no name non rated mask are better than no face covering. I did not compare the two.

            @craigd: "Cloth face coverings may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others."

            Nowhere in this "article" does it say that they protect YOU from OTHERS with COVID-19, unless THEY are also wearing a mask.

            i.e. "However, the protective effects—how well the cloth face covering protects healthy people from breathing in the virus—are unknown"

        • Ok boomer

      • These are not N95 filters.

    • +7

      Any mask is better than no mask. While your argument stating this mask offers 'literally useless' in your own words because it has no REAL protection, what is your justifications? The highest rate protection is N95 and as I understand, the general publics does not require N95 mask.

      • "Any mask is better than no mask"

        Maybe you need to tell the Health Department that?

      • N99 is technically the highest rated disposable mask.

    • +4

      well no, its not completely 'useless'. nor are they 'literally, literally useless'. Yes the particles are smaller than what the N95 is capable of catching but was it also not said that it's rare that the COVID19 strain would not be taxiing off other larger particles? thus the N95's efficiency would be back into play.

      Yes they are not a 100% preventative but nobody is saying that it is. the suggestion is to wear them in areas where 1.5m distancing is not an option or in busy areas where it may fluctuate quite a bit. It's a preventative…much like that Flu shot you take annually. that's not a cure, thats just several strains that scientists think we are most at risk that season.

      Just chill mate

      • That's not how N95 masks work. They are tested against a Sodium Chloride vapour. This is what is what they let 5% of though. Think pesticides like roundup, which may or may not cause diseases with large exposures.

        I have seen numbers like 99% or greater efficiency for covid thrown around for properly fitted N95 respirators. I have not seen any proper studies yet (and would not expect respectable studies in this area for a few more months at least) but I am also not looking (except for a quick google to see if I was missing anything before posting this comment). I am also unsure if this research is needed as I thought N95 efficiency with smaller vapour particles was already known (hence MDS's can give hours of N95 use before a filter needs changing).

        But I am not a chemist, sooooo…

    • +4

      Dont know where the circus is but the clown's right here.

    • +5

      That may be, but those particles are usually distributed in droplets when someone sneezes or coughs. Those droplets can be contained in these masks, thereby reducing the risk of transmission. Used in conjunction with physical distancing and regular hand washing or sanitising, makes these a reasonable option.

          You do realise I was replying to drazenm's comment, right?

    • Mate. Stop. Breath.

      A fresh, correctly fitted P2 or N95 with 1.5 metre social distancing almost eliminates all risk.

      A fresh, correctly fitted P2 or N95 mask or 1.5 meter social distancing greatly reduces risk of transmission but can not eliminate it.

      A fresh face covering, a cloth or a used P2/N95 is better than nothing but is nowhere near as efficient as just social distancing or a fresh P2 or N95 mask.

      A P2/N95 surgical mask has a barrier that helps stop streams of vapours, but we should really be leaving them for our health care professionals who have to get within 1.5 metres of infected people. The rest of the PPE they wear is to further reduce the risk of both infection and spread.

        No just wash it

    • Every style of N95 from any different brands and model needs a proper fit test. If there is a gap between the N95 and the wearer’s face then it can be more dangerous than without a mask because the wearer thinks they are protected.

      Everybody’s face shape and size is different so not everyone suits wearing N95 masks.

      If you're that adamant on conspiracy theories you owe it to yourself to educate yourself through reputable sources and information on whatever nonsense you've found to be 'true' - it's really hard seeing such passion from people that don't go to any effort to validate such strong opinions.

      Ancient news @drazenm, which you'd know if you spent more time reading and absorbing credible information in lieu of swallowing garbage from conspiracy websites. Google SARS MERS (also corona viruses) and immerse yourself in some of the research on how corona viruses spread. Aerosol transmission has always been a likely factor. There's a lot more to be be learnt but it appears that masks may help limit aerosol release and intake. Here's a VERY basic discussion of aerosol transmission with differing views from experts: https://www.smh.com.au/national/how-a-chinese-restaurant-exp…

    • Hongkong University has made experiments proving masks help to stop spreading if virus. Especially medical staff and age care workers.
