Maybe not under normal circumstances, but these are not normal circumstances. Also, we're talking N95 masks, not ordinary surgical masks.

Compare the cost of masks to the cost of the salary of the people using them. Under no circumstance is the cost of masks a major cashflow concern.

Nothing in the article says these are N95 masks, I don't believe you are correct. But also, what does that have to do with my comment?
