Simultaneously, of course, we are interrogated as to the nature of our travel and all of the details.

How can you sleep at night; or, don't you care?

As for me, I want our country back.

Try to imagine a hospital setting where the janitor, having just cleaned the toilets, "helps out" the doctors by rearranging sterile bandages and instruments in the operating theater. Try to imagine surgeons shrugging and saying "Cross contamination is probably something that happens, it would be impossible in a hospital to completely prevent it. We have training on it regularly to keep awareness up."

I'm sure the patients who got infections would be happy that at least the hospital staff had training to be aware of the cross-contamination.
