"I think it does give us reason to pause about the complacency that we as people particularly we as Americans have....We're not very good about washing our hands....We have bad habits."
LTG Place: "We're very used to our water being safe. We're very used to our food being safe. We're very used to walking around in all kinds of different areas and not worry about it."
LTG Place: "In fact, as Americans, we're not very good about washing our hands. We're not very good about covering our mouths with or sleeve or a tissue and throwing the tissue away. We have bad habits."
LTG Place: "And despite all the tragedy that's coming from this if it teaches us what our Mom and our Dad tried to teach us when we were kids about how you interact with people and how you turn your head away and cover it and how you wash your hands and ...
LTG Place: "not just splash a little water on it but actually use soap and put it around every part of it, if it teaches us good habits at least something comes out of this that's good so when the next thing does happen we are better prepared for it."
