On Wednesday during his weekly SEC teleconference, Jones was asked about going down to the hospital and providing support:
“It was monumental. For all the children in the hospital, your heart goes out to the families and the doctors and the nurses working around the clock. I thought it was the least we could do. It was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done and it was the least we could do.”
