That’s $16,334 per ventilators.

At least two Indian companies make ventilators at present, mostly from imported components. They cost around 150,000 ($1,987; £1,612) lol gym charging the taxpayer 10x that $16.336 each and they ask why ppl dont build American

That’s $16313.33 a piece. That sounds expensive. Will they be medical grade and conform to FDA standards? Will they be covered under a service contract.

We will not need these. It’s a total overreaction. All the media clowns are in the NYC area & believe the whole US is facing supposed apocalypse. It’s all hysteria & idiocy from the media elites who never look at actual data.

So, umm, Jared’s stockpile!

To be delivered when? By the end of the year?

21WFMJ Sounds like a good deal for both sides.

NY gov is Andrew Cuomo, not Mario Cuomo

So a vent costs the same as an Equinox? Go, GM.

.GM tidy profit. Hope you don't loose too many staff, or the CEO or board members, heaven forbid.

16k a pop, what's the profit margin on that ?

Really

Haha... Great $$ contract. Cars aren't selling!

About $16k for each...does it usually cost that much?
