Although I do have misgivings about Chinese masks and it is a legitimate concern; absent any real evaluation of the risk of the Chinese masks vs the risk of using relatively ineffective cotton masks or no masks, I'd go with Chinese.

There is much about China, its business practices and its government to be concerned about. At this point, we are, as a nation, stuck with them.

I do use and choose an American made N95 (non-medical) mask.

OTOH, it is really impossible to just "Buy American" and the irony is that many, if not most, of the products we use daily, from refrigerators to electronic equipment (including medical) are either entirely made in China or include Chinese components. And yes, they do steal our technology.

Having a discussion need not include untrue inflammatory comments.

And I don't drink KoolAid.
