> Not an extra 90 cents per mask, an extra 8 cents per mask.
We're suggesting the hospital giving him 1 dollar per mask instead of 10 cents during the crisis, that's an extra 90. 98 cents compared to the Chinese prices.
I guess my proposal makes it a bit less. With the 10 year contract, assuming that the demand spike only exists in the first year, it would be an extra 90 cents - savings of (9 years * 2 cents / year) = 72 cents per mask. This could be "fixed" by extending that contract for a few more years.
