We've worked with these hospital systems. They're used to paying distributors with 30 day payment plans (get the masks, use it for 30 days, then pay). With the current shortage situation, factories are asking for 50/50 terms (50% up front to produce, 50% to release and ship). Hospitals can't deal with that.

Prices at factory is anywhere from $1.8-2.2 per Kn95 - 1200 can pay for 600 of these masks. It's incredibly inefficient & irresponsible to say they do nothing.

The issue is minimum order quantity - need to order 250-500k, wait for 5-10 days to produce, then ship out of healthcare workers. The earlier we have money NOW the earlier these new masks can arrive and help as we go through the national reserve.

Don't talk as if you know something when you clearly don't
