SARS in Toronto!

LOL! Already! I swear they are terrifying my family out west who are constantly hearing about all the plagues descending on Ontario!:) I have to remind them it isn't Egypt during Biblical times:)

Off topic, but the best example of media hysteria I saw was a collection of clips in "Bowling for Columbine". I know a lot of people are bitter about the movie, but that part of it was excellent and hillarious. The headlines included were about killer bees and the deadly escalators!:roll

Good luck with your move Sixes, let us know how things go. :cool:

Things are certainly looking better here. Fewer cases to work with now that several patients have died over the past week, and many have been discharged. Very sad for the families that couldn't be with their loved ones. The CDC has been around last week and possibly again this week. Taking swabs and checking procedures. Our mortality rate seems very high compared to other areas. If you only count in probable cases like other countries do our mortality rate is at least 10% and likely to be higher in the 12% range when all is said and done. There are at least 4or 5 other critically ill patients who may not survive. I'm anxious to hear how the meeting in Geneva with the WHO went.

Should hear sometime this morning. Good news I hope.
