It may be one in a million or one in 2 million, but I can't tell you that it won't happen to your child.

Even if you clean it twice a day, if someone happens just by chance to come on who's infected and their hands may be contaminated — they just sneezed into their hands and they put their hand on some surface — the cleaning only works for a short time, it's really up to all of us to take the precautions to protect ourselves.

The risk is related basically to proximity of infected people, how long you're on the subway and obviously the number of exposures you may have, so, if there are infected people near you, obviously then it's a matter of density. But we don't know how many infected people there are out there.
