Ok, so then you agree they need to be tested, we just disagree on how quantitatively extensive it needs to be. So you tell me then, what percentage of these 1M masks do we test?

Do we test 1% of it and say they're safe to use, or do we test 99% of it?

Either way, it sounds like to me, you agree you can't just overlook basic sanity checks.

Maybe we test 51% of it. I'm not sure where you draw that line. God forbid you or your immediate family member gets one of the 49% that didn't get tested, and get infected. Skin in the game.

Is this still BS to you?

The BS was for you to claim the each mask has to be inspected. I am pretty sure that if the US will have agreed to accept the gift (fat chance I think) they would have some of those checked. And the percentge would hopefully be determined by the experts in the field rather then incompetent Jane/Joes of HN of which we are.
And it's BS for you to blindly claim it that doesn't. Thanks for your "opinion"
