"But we like the idea of keeping labor to a minimum," Prowse said. "We think it's a better measure to reduce the spread of this epidemic and the terrible overwork in our hospitals, which leads to unnecessary deaths. I'm proud of how we allow each of our staff to use their own security measures or families need to stay home, or volunteer, "he said. "The spirit of those employees who are still helping with vital work orders boosts our morale and reminds us that we really do play a vital role in the fight against this epidemic."

The slogan is now the opposite, because the world knows that plastic is an important material that saves lives."
