And that minor point about him acquiring a nosocomial infection as a result of the housekeeping as performed by non-English speaking staff who didn't wash their hands is something that we don't need to worry about or put on any official paperwork such as a death certificate....after all, that's the way that they do things where they come from and for us to tell them that it's wrong would cause us to run afoul of human rights laws....all cultures are equal anyway, aren't they? Nobody here needs to lose their job because they've been called a 'racist' for suggesting that people from Third World nations change their behaviors...... Last I heard, British hospitals were saving money by flipping the sheets over instead of frequently washing them, thereby reducing the laundry bill by half.
Seriously.

That’s where the sick people are!
